Trust God, He'll Save, Part 4

October 24, 2012
God allowed the Assyrians to conquer the Israelites on more than one occasion. But when He was ready to, He wiped out 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night. Have you ever felt like God is testing you? God asks for our trust, and in turn, He will show Himself strong for us.

Righteousness brings peace. The Israelites were not right with God, and their city was conquered. These days we see our country being torn apart from within. This lack of peace shows us that many are not walking in righteousness. Do you have the calm that comes from the assurance of your salvation in Jesus?

In today’s study in Isaiah, we are reminded that the children of Israel tried to rely on their own logic to save themselves. But Pastor Jeff exhorts us to rely solely on the Lord. When we rely on ourselves, we’re flying blind; but the Lord knows exactly where to lead us.

In chapter 27 of Isaiah, the prophet compares God’s people to a vineyard. God waters us, prunes us, and protects us so that we can grow. This is a demonstration of how much God loves us. He cares enough to watch over us, correct us, and restore us so that we can be in fellowship with Him.

Our only hope for true peace comes from the Lord. In the New Testament, Jesus tells us everything we need to know to have rest for our souls. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” God promises His blessings on those who pursue Him.

The most important thing we can do as believers is become students of God’s Word. Everything that we need for life is in the pages of Scripture. The beauty of being God’s children is that He opens our spiritual eyes and gives us insights into His word that no one else can have. Don’t neglect this vital part of your walk with the Lord!

Do you find yourself fitting in with unbelievers around you? Are they comfortable spending time with you? More importantly, are you comfortable spending time with them? If you aren’t noticeably different from unbelievers, it’s time to re-evaluate your spiritual life. Christ challenges us to be different from the world, and the only way we can do this is by strengthening our relationship with Him.

Are we like the Israelites were in Isaiah’s day? They were focused only on themselves and their own circumstances. They didn’t turn to the Lord for guidance or deliverance. We need to learn from this! Instead of trying to work things out on our own, our first instinct should be to trust the Lord.

God’s warnings to Israel in Isaiah are applicable to us today, too. We need to have a solid foundation on the Rock that is Jesus Christ or when the storms of life come we will fall. Giving our lives completely over to Christ is the only way to avoid the pitfalls of the enemy. Thanks for listening.

1 Corinthians 6:12 says, “All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful.” In Isaiah 28 we see what happens when men consume alcohol. Pastor Jeff warns believers against indulging in what some people consider Christian liberties. Even though we tell ourselves that things are okay, there are always consequences for our actions.

In today’s study, Pastor Jeff encourages us not to yield to our weaknesses. Our flesh can be hard to resist, but when we give in, we make ourselves vulnerable to the enemy. In the Old Testament, we see that Israel rejected the Lord, and her cities were pillaged over and over again by the enemy. Don’t let your flesh get the best of you!
