Scripture:
“Tell the godly that all will be well for them. They will enjoy the rich reward they have earned! But the wicked are doomed, for they will get exactly what they deserve.” Isaiah 3:10-11 NLT
Observation:
Isaiah gives double prophecy in this passage. He gives a word to the godly and tells them that all will be well for them and they will enjoy the rich reward they have earned. He turns and gives a word to the wicked and tells them they are doomed and will get what they deserve. In the midst of punishing the wicked, God can bless His own and prosper them.
Application:
God is able to bless His people in the midst of famine, persecution, pestilence, and even His own judgment. He can bring calamity on the unrighteousness and bless His own at the very Same time. God can bless His children while the rest of the world is suffering His wrath. In Egypt, many of the plagues touched all of Egypt except where God’s people were gathered. We must trust and serve God, knowing He can bless us in the midst of troubling times.
Prayer:
Father, teach me to trust You more. You are not on a fiscal budget and limited by recessions in government. You are not limited by GDPs and other limiting factors. I ask You to bless my life. Bless my family. Bless the church I lead. Bless the ministry I lead. In the midst of difficult financial times, let us see Your greatest blessing.
Yours,
Jeff
