Scripture: Isaiah 22:11
11 You built a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the Old Pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or have regard for the One who planned it long ago.
Observation:
In this section of book, Isaiah addresses the people of Jerusalem. He calls them out on their attitude toward God. While God is asking them to repent (verse 12), they are partying (verse 13) and occupying themselves with their own business, trying to solve their own problems (verses 8 to 11). In all of this, they disregarded the One who created everything and planned things out a long time ago (our SOAP verse).
Application:
I can't tell you how many times I've caught myself trying to go after my own business, resolving my own problems, without looking to One who made me AND the circumstances I'm in. I forget that He is in TOTAL control of everything, and that He has planned things out long ago. Only if I lean on Him and trust Him in everything, will I come to place of rest and peace. I know that's the place that He desires for me.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, You have made everything, and You have planned things long ago. Help me to trust you in everything, and to rely on you, no matter the circumstances. I trust in your unlimited power, the power that is in the name of your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. In His Name we pray. Amen.
Have a blessed week.
Dick
