April 10 – Trust in the Lord - Isaiah 20:3-6
Isaiah would be in this condition for three years. He walked around naked and barefoot for three years. When asked he told the inquirers that it was a sign for Egypt and Cush. It wasn’t for Israel or Judah but for foreign nations. As Isaiah has gone naked so shall the people of Egypt and Cush will be captured and humiliated in the same way.
This was also a warning to Isarel and Judah. Those who trusted in Egypt and Cush to help them will be put to shame. We often rely on others for help and protection. The people of Canaan, Israel and Judah entered pacts with Egypt or Cush for mutual protection. If Assyria can do this to them, how can they escape. Judah had boasted in Egypt and their power will put to shame and dismayed. Lesson here don’t put you trust in men but in God for you help. Remember help comes from the Lord.
