Today’s Reading: Isaiah 1; Isaiah 2; Isaiah 3; Titus 3
Scripture: Isaiah 2:11-12
11 The eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled
and the pride of men brought low;
the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
12 The LORD Almighty has a day in store
for all the proud and lofty,
for all that is exalted
(and they will be humbled)...
Observation: Pride and arrogance are some of the prime stock in trade in our secular culture. But a day is coming when the arrogant will be put in their place.
Application: It is difficult to deal with arrogant people. Our world is full of them. But it is important to remember that there is a day coming when the Lord will settle the score. The "proud and lofty" will be humbled.
Bottom line: Humble yourself now before the Lord. Do not be one with an appointment for lowering.
Prayer: Lord, thank You that You receive the meek and resist the proud. Help us to eliminate all traces of arrogance from our hearts. May we be those who humbly seek Your face and surrender our lives totally to You.
This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
