Who Do We Look To!

Isaiah 22-24; Hebrews 12 

“The defenses of Judah are stripped away. And you looked in that day to the weapons in the Palace of the Forest; You saw that the City of David had many breaches in its defenses; you stored up water in the Lower Pool…but you did not look to the One who made it or have regard for the One who planned it long ago.”

Isaiah 22:8, 9, 11

Hezekiah’s tunnel can be viewed today (and walked through) as the watercourse built to deliver the city of David from Assyrian siege. This engineering marvel is beyond the understanding of engineers today. However, Isaiah rebuked the leaders of Jerusalem for looking to their fortifications and engineering skills rather than to the Lord. 

When God allows significant disasters in our day, do we trust in our engineers, scientists, and wealth to deliver us, or do we humble ourselves before the One?

Do we view God as someone to be worshipped on Sunday but not as the Lord of heaven and earth?

Will we trust in the Lord’s plan or in our own plan?

“Lord God, you are shaking the heavens and the earth and I submit to you, for your glory.”
