Scripture:
Isaiah 3:10 "Tell the godly that all will be well for them. They will enjoy the rich reward they have earned".
Observation:
At this point in Isaiah, there has been two and a half chapters of nothing but doom and gloom for the people of Israel because they had left the Lord and were serving other gods. Isaiah was prophesying incredible destruction, yet in the midst of two and a half chapters of doom and gloom comes one verse that says, "Tell the godly that all will be well for them. They will enjoy the rich reward they have earned'.
Application:
God is truly just. In the end, people will get what they deserve. Even when God is seen here judging an entire nation, He throws in the fact that those who have remained righteous before Him will enjoy rich rewards and everything will be well for them. Even in the midst of God's judgment, we are safe and blessed if we are living a godly life. Godliness with contentment is great gain!
Prayer:
Father, You are awesome! You judge each one accurately. You are just! Thank You for showing me that, even when you are judging a nation, those who live godly are still blessed. Help me walk in the ways of the godly and to serve You well all the days of my life.
Your Son,
Jeff
