Isaiah 2:17-18 (KJV) And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. When we (nations) get "too big for our britches," we find ourselves humbled by a natural disaster, world war, incurable disease, economic depression, or widespread social disorder. Our arrogance can be a predictor of our own impending disasters. There is a principle of our universe at work here. ("Pride goes before a fall.") This is as well the active discipline of God at work. Both God and His world remind us that there is so much about our lives we cannot control. This passage, however, goes beyond the general principles and it promises an ultimate day when human arrogance will be eliminated and all false gods disappear. On that day, God's children will rejoice and be glad! Until then, if you are not walking humbly with God, I greatly fear for your soul ... Attachments:
