Sun.’s Devo - God’s Remnants 9-14-25

Read: Isaiah 15:1-18:7; Galatians 1:1-24; Psalm 58:1-11; Proverbs 23:12 This prophecy was probably given the first year that Hezakiah became king and was fulfilled four years later when Ar and Kir in Moab were attacked by the Assyrian army. It is believed that Moab might have aligned with Syria and Israel against Assyria. *** When this happened Moab turned to their idols for help which were powerless. Those who tried to escape were killed by lions. *** They sent lambs as tribute to Israel for help. They cried out at their sacred altars, but it was all in vain. This was prophesied years before it happened, and now in three years it was all be over and Moab was no more. Only a few very weak remained. *** Isaiah was given a prophecy about Damascus, the capital of Syria and the fortified cities of Israel. They would be destroyed. Israel would be left desolate with a small remnant remaining. At last, they will look to the Lord for help and desert their idols and turn to the Lord. They will realized that their idolatry got them where they are today. *** They will hear the threats of many nations, but they will not come. God will protect them from being completely destroyed. *** Ethiopia will plan to come against Israel but will fight against the Lord and they will be left dead on the battle field. Their bodies will be eaten by the birds and the wild animals. Instead of attacking Israel, they will bring gifts to them. *** Paul wrote to the church in Galatia letting them know that this letter was not just from him, but from all the brothers and sisters with him. He prayed for grace and peace for them before he reprimanded them. *** He had heard that they were turning away from their trust in Christ to follow a cult that twisted the truth of Christ. These Judaizers were teaching them to fall back under the law, and that Paul didn’t know what he was talking about. Paul gave his testimony about how he was saved in such a miraculous way. Then he went apart for a few years to hear from God. His teachings come from that time with the Holy Spirit. *** Lord, may we not get back under the law but rely on your Spirit to lead us into the truth of Your Word. Thank you for setting us free from bondage and into the light of truth.
