Listening & Learning — A Devotional

Isaiah 2:3

A LOOK AHEAD

Isaiah 2:3. “And many people shall go and say, come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”

A LOOK AHEAD. A day will come after the night of dark desolation has gone - When the Word of the Lord will go forth. Those who had wanted God to leave them alone - Will realize what in life has real worth. The proud will have been humbled and brought down to the dust. The rich who trusted in their treasure will see it go to rust. The covetous will let go of all that in once they did trust - When the day of the Lord shall come.

There is going to be a time of real peace - When armaments become tools for work. The animosity of nations against each other will cease - People won't be seeking each other’s hurt. But the proud must be humbled and brought to the ground - Those who exalted themselves will all be brought down -

In fear, many will hide hoping they will not be found - When the day of the Lord shall come.

The desire of many will finally be To go up to the house of the Lord. They will there be taught and will finally see The value of the law and God's Word. But before that time comes, false worship and deceit must go - Those who put their trust in idols must be bowed low - Any man who trusted in man will surely know - When the day of the Lord shall come.

“The favored nations seem to be going farther away from Thee, O God. Those who have very little seem to be the ones who are listening to, and heeding, Thy Word. Still, here is where I believe you want me to be. So, Gracious Father, empower me for this day to do Thy will as it is revealed to me. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
