Isaiah 4-6

"Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight."

This book was written for the people of Israel. God spoke to them through prophet Isaiah. Just like us, Israelites were prideful and sinful people. They refused to believe and serve God, so God warned them through Isaiah.

As I was driving yesterday, I heard a sermon on the radio, and one thing that the pastor said was we need to realize we are nothing without God. Also, when we were praying yesterday, you mentioned how we are weak and in desperate need of God's help.

How often do we think that we are wise and clever in our own eyes? Especially, when everything is going well, we think it is because of what we have done. We forget about God's goodness, faithfulness, and grace. I always pray that God would humble me, but I don't want to just pray that but truly learn to be humble before God acknowledging that we are just dust, mere breath without God. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."

Let us repent of our pride and humble ourselves trusting God in everything we do this day.

"Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time."
