Morning Light - Isaiah 28

Today: [Isaiah 28] The Stammering Lips of God’s Deliverance. In this chapter Isaiah declares that the northern kingdom has erred in its counsel like drunken leaders who have no wisdom. He then turns to the southern kingdom and exhorts them to learn from the bitter lessons of the northern kingdom. We may not be drunk with alcohol but Jesus warned us in Luke 21:34 not to allow our hearts to be drunken with worry and fear thus leading us to make decisions that exclude God and result in our own failure. Then Isaiah points us to the stammering lips through which God speaks as a foretelling of the day of Pentecost when God would send His power on the fledgling church in the aftermath of Jesus death burial and crucifixion. It is a strong exhortation to us to look to God and not to man for our deliverance during times of upheaval when we do not know what to do next.
