Mon.'s Devo - Have Courage

Read Isa. 2:5-10
Isaiah pleads for Judah and Jerusalem to walk in God's revelation not the eastern religions or the magic of the Philistines or any other god than the Lord. These other countries are rich in material things, military power, and merchandise but what they worship is worthless. He tells his people to enter into the rock. We know that rock is Jesus. That is the same rock that followed the children of Israel through the wilderness to the promised land. (1 Co. 10:4) We are privileged to live in a time when the kingdoms of the earth are being tested and tried by God. It is a time of great fear and uncertainty to everyone but the children of God. When they run out of answers, and IF we have exhibited great courage and confidence in God they will come to us for the answer and we will be able to be the light to the Gentiles and the way back for the Jews. God will give us supernatural wisdom and answer our prayers and heal the land. So this is not a time to shrink back and be afraid, but a time to press into the rock and gain strength. Our time is coming!
Lord, prepare your people to do great exploits. Pour out your spirit on this dry and thirsty land and let life grow here once again.
