Wed.’s Devo -Abraham’s Seed 9-17-14 Read: Is. 25:1-28:13; Gal. 3:10-22; Ps. 61:1-8; Pr. 23:17-18 God has to punish sin but even in His judgment there is always mercy and restoration to those who repent. Isaiah was not only speaking to the people then, but ahead to us. Our enemies aren’t flesh and blood but invisible forces from the devil. One day Satan will be judged. In that day, Israel will bloom and fill the earth with redeemed people. In Chapter 28, God judges the proud. They prophecy that they will be safe. That nothing will happen to them. They believe that their riches will save them. Those people will be brought down and God will be exalted in his remnant. The people who trusted in the Word and believed God would fulfill every line of it will be saved. He will become the beauty of the earth. If we want to be saved by works then we will be judged by the law and not be able to stand. But if we want to accept the grace that Jesus gives us through the cross, we can be saved. Salvation comes by grace alone. Lord, we give you praise. You have been our shelter and strong tower from the enemy and we are so grateful.
