TOPIC: God’s Judgement on Disappointment
TEXT: Isaiah 5:1-7(NKJV)
Daily Fountain Devotional 20 October 2022 Message
In today’s passage, Prophet Isaiah uses poetry to convey God’s message to Israel. In his song, he likened God to the ‘Well Beloved’ who planted Israel as His vineyard in the Promised Land. God protected His people, gave them the land of Canaan, and blessed them (v.2a).
Despite this benevolence, God’s expectation of His people was not met. He expected justice and righteousness but they kept oppressing one another. What a disappointment! God pronounced judgment on the nation of Israel by taking away His blessings and allowing foreign nations to capture and take them into captivity (vv. 5-6).
God’s blessings to us are ever sure so far we remain connected to Him and yield to His Divine counsel. God is expecting nations to bring forth justice and righteousness. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Prov. 14:34). We should learn from Israel’s apostasy and the consequences that followed. God is not a respecter of men, therefore, we should not fail His expectations of us.
PRAYER: Help me O Lord, not to become a disappointment to your Kingdom in Jesus name. Amen.
