Morning Light - Isaiah 30

Today: [Isaiah 30] Learn to Limit Your Counselors: In Isaiah 30 Isaiah reproves the people of the city of Jerusalem for giving heed to wrong counselors. It was the common consensus at this time that Jerusalem needed to form an alliance with Egypt in order to avoid being invaded by Assyria. Isaiah in effect says it doesn’t matter if “everyone is saying it” this is the wrong course of action. Just because all those around you are in agreement about what you should do next doesn’t make them right. The promise of God through Isaiah is that His voice will be as one that speaks in your ear saying “this is the way walk you in it…” In times of pressure and confusion God’s voice is available telling us what we should do next and if we obey things will work our in our best interests.
