Isiah 31:1
1You are in for trouble if you go to Egypt for help, or if you depend on an army of chariots or a powerful cavalry. Instead you should depend on and trust the holy LORD God of Israel.
(Contemporary English Version)
Today God's reminding me that He is more powerful and stronger than any other thing you can think of. Whether it is here on earth, in the physical world or spiritual world. He is still the most almighty and powerful God. If He shakes the world by just one inch, everything would be destroyed in a blink of an eye. If He stops our heart from pumping, we wouldn't be here tomorrow. He created this universe, He breathes live into every living being in existence. He died and rose again, defeating death. Who else is more powerful than Him?
So why do we rely on so many other things but God? For our future. For our finances. For our health. For our well-being.
The Lord spoke to Isiah, saying you are heading for trouble if you rely in human strenghts or any of humanly wisdom, if you rely on anything else but Him. I've seen it all: family and friends, who were once successful in their career, business, finances, who relied on their own streghts and wisdom, ignoring the Lord. Ten years down the track, some of them declared bankrupt, or lying sick in the hospital, spending all their life-long worth of savings battling for their lives, lying in hospitals.
Some people refuse to acknowledge that He is the creator of the universe, that He is the one and only God, who is able to do anything. I cant even comprehend how such a complicated human being can be formed if not by the hands of God. I'd rather be save than sorry. Denying His existence does not do me any good. I don't have anything to loose by believing that a God, a big great God exists. I have seen it, experienced it. He cured my tumour, 8 years ago. He provides for all our needs, big and small. I have learnt to believe that a God, much greater than me, exists to love me.
What about you? Who and what do you rely on? For your future? For your finances? For your success? For your well-being?
