PROVERBS OF STEEL FOR MAY 3, 2024

 

May 3 – Renown - Isaiah 26:6-8

 May 3 – Renown - Isaiah 26:6-8

 

     Those who trampled down the oppressed and poor shall be dealt with.  Isaiah then says that the path of the righteous is level.  The Lord is known here as the upright one.  The vertical one also righteous, honest, or just, as in moral character or behavior.  He will make the way of the righteous smooth.  

     The exhortation is to walk in the ways of the laws, statutes, and precepts of God.  That means living in the ways of the Bible.  Not just being hearers od the word but does as well.  It means waiting and trusting the Lord.  The Lord is the name, renown, and desire of the heart of the true child of God.  It is not just lip service but deeds that are shown both in the sight of the Lord and others.

May 2 – Peace - Isaiah 26:1-5

 May 2 – Peace - Isaiah 26:1-5

 

     This prophecy has many beautiful, promises, blessings, and benefits.  In that day and time their city will be strong with God making salvation its walls and ramparts.  This city is most likely the New Jerusalem.  The gates will be opened to the righteous and to the nation that keeps faith with the Lord.  A promise to the ones whose mind is steadfast.  They will have perfect peace, calmness, and tranquility because they have trusted in the Lord. 

     Trust and keep faith in the Lord because He are a rock eternal.  He brings down the proud and arrogant.  He levels their cities and habitations to the dust.  The prophet exposes the contrast and difference between the humble and the proud and their futures.

PROVERBS OF STEEL FOR MAY 1, 2024

 

May 1 – Moab - Isaiah 25:9-12

 May 1 – Moab - Isaiah 25:9-12

 

     In that day which means that time where God powerfully and miraculously intervenes in the affairs of man.  In Isaiah’s case it means in the future.  Those who loved and trusted the Lord will say “This our reward for trusting in Him because He saved us.”  They will rejoice and be glad in the fact that they trusted in Him and His salvation.” 

     Moab will be trampled down in that day like straw.  They will be stretch out their hands like a swimmer.  This is a direct reference to what kind of judgment they will face.  Moab suffered under the Assyrians but also the Romans.  The principles sin was pride, and they were good at their cleverness, and deception.  Their walls will be destroyed and be ground down into dust.  This speaks to the fact that Moab will be destroyed and never be heard of again with did happen.  This shows the contrast between the righteous and unrighteous and their future.
