March 31 – Consequences - Isaiah 17:9-14
The nation of
Israel which had strong cities with high walls will become nothing but
ruins. The plants and animals will be
the only inhabitants. This will happen
because they forgot the Lord God of Israel.
The results is that they will go through spring planting and even see
the growth during the summer but there will no harvest. This will cause pain and starvation for the
people. God had made it clear what would
happen if they have forsaken him. His blessing
would not be on them, and they would be subject instead to the wrath and
influence of empires around them.
The Lord
however would not let the nation be destroyed.
He would then punish the nations around them because of their tyranny
and cruelty to Israel. The sad reality
is that when you forsake the Lord, you leave yourself open to the enemy who
agenda is to rob, kill and destroy.
Alliance with the world makes you an enemy of God.
