And now, a minute with the Word…

In the midst of their conflicts with Syria and Assyria, Israel and her leaders turned to almost anyone and anything for help, except the Lord. Isaiah’s plea was this — “To the law and to the testimony!” (8.20) Without it there was no light (verse 20), and they would be “greatly distressed and hungry” (verse 21). Indeed, “they will look to the earth, but behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish. And they will be thrust into thick darkness” (verse 21). We too must learn: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths” (Proverbs 3.5-6).
