Mar. 21, 2014 – Isaiah 23
The People That Was Not?
Share the Feast in God’s Word; join us as we
share God’s Word daily as Easter, Sunday April 20th approaches!
“For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God;
and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey
the gospel of God?” 1 Peter 4:17
Isaiah Chapter 23, “The
overthrow of Tyre. (1-14) It is established again. (15-18)” - Matthew Henry Concise
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully
continue our Feast by reading Isaiah Chapter 23. Tyre was the hotspot of the era she was
full of self-gratification, (see Ezekiel
28:7) Godliness was just another
object of her humor. God will show mercy
in Tyre. When God gives her freedom,
she returns to the temptation, the love of money, covetousness, and spiritual
idolatry. “17 At the end of seventy years, the Lord will
visit Tyre, and she will return to her wages and will prostitute herself with
all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth. 18 Her merchandise
and her wages will be holy to the Lord. It will not be stored or hoarded, but
her merchandise will supply abundant food and fine clothing for those who
dwell before the Lord.” Isaiah
23:17-18 English Standard Versions (ESV). Take notice though the nation was doing badly
in a spiritual sense, God (see Isaiah
23:18) used her prosperity to bless those who
were willing to live for His kingdom. “Blessed
is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree
planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear
when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year
of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:7-8 ESV. Sometimes I’m surprised when a see a
Christian who falls away in sin. Then
I think about what Jesus said to those who appeared to be doing God’s work on
the outside but remained secretly opposed to Jesus (See Matthew
7:23) in secrete. Do I regret giving money to a person who I
found out later was abusing God’s gifts?
Not at all, I give what I feel God is nudging me to give. In doing so I have obeyed the Holy Spirit
and thus been true to my Lord Jesus.
Every gift whether given or abused is done so to the Glory of
God. “16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to
anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey,
either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to
righteousness? “ Romans
6:16 ESV. I am convinced that
those that pretended to serve God for their own purposes (See Matthew
7:22-23) is; “The People That Was Not” able to follow Jesus.
Is Jesus calling you? Do you want
taste true freedom? Do you want to
find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life? If the answer is yes to any of these
