Devotional: Isaiah 31

Today’s passage: Isaiah 31

Helpful thoughts:

  • They could have argued whether Egypt was stronger than Assyria, comparing horses, chariots, troops, and weapons.  God’s strength is not measured by man’s standards.
    • Verse 3 – “The Egyptians are man, and not God, and their horses are flesh, and not spirit.”
  • 1 Corinthians 1:23 – “We preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles.”
    • Verse 6 – “Turn to him from whom people have deeply revolted.”
  • Assyria was going to be defeated by a force that was not of man, by a Rock that will never pass away.

Questions to consider:

  1. What kinds of earthly strengths do you sometimes “wish” God had for you?  What are your “horses and chariots” that you wish God would provide for your security?
  2. What things do you turn to for those “horses and chariots” when God doesn’t appear to be providing the way you want?
  3. What truths about God help you to cast all those idols away?  Why is Jesus better?
