Since you trust in your deeds and riches, you too will be taken captive, and Chemosh will go into exile, together with his priests and officials.
This is God's judgment upon Moab. I thought about how one's deeds and riches make that person prideful. When I think of what I do as a Chrisitan, such as going to church three to four days a week, giving tithe, teaching as a Sunday school teacher, it's so easy to think that I am doing pretty good as a Christian. However, that's not what pleases or impresses God. He rather have me humble myself and totally depend on him and his righteousness alone. God looks at my heart more than anything else.
We are both in times of need. Like you mentioned in your QT yesterday, we have a list of things we want to gain and accomplish. Let's make sure to trust God for everything not anyone or anything - even ourselves. God is not pleased when we try to do things our own way.
Let us humble ourselves this day and be faithful with what God has entrusted us.
