Morning Light - Isaiah 10

Today: [Isaiah 10] Waiting on God’s Salvation. In Isaiah chapter 10 the prophet warns the city of Jerusalem of impending judgment because they have oppressed the poor, the widow and the fatherless. The Assyrians that they have made a treaty with will soon overrun their own nation. Yet at the same time Isaiah declares that Assyria will be dealt with as well for they think that their own might has given them permission to plow under the nations. Ultimately God is in control and the Assyrians are just an axe in God’s hand wielded to cut down the idolatrous nations. To those that are living for God and hoping for His salvation Isaiah tells them to be unafraid. We may see dark days on the earth but as Jesus said let not your heart be troubled – deliverance is just ahead.
