Read Through the Bible in a Year 2018 Day 215: Those Who Do Not Seek God

Good morning everyone!

Today I read Isaiah 31-35.

I didn't understand most of it, but something stood out to me.

Isaiah 31:1 - Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the LORD!

So, I'm going to make this more general.

Woe to those who trust and rely on anything but the Lord. Money. Power. People. Cars. Anything.

God will never fail us, never let us down. Everyone and everything else will, at some point. So, we need to put our trust in Him. We need to find our joy in Him.

Woe to those who make idols of those things rather than giving glory to God.

Things cannot save us. Money cannot save us. Even people cannot save us. Only God can save us.

And that's what I learned from my reading today, though there is a lot more to these chapters, and I encourage you to read them. Don't just take my word for it.

I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Isaiah 36-41.
