What’s the Danger of Spiritual Success?

What Comfort Can We Find in a World Doomed for Destruction?

Though our sin brings consequences upon the world (Isa. 39:1-8), God extends his comfort to his people (Isa. 40:1-2) by revealing his glory through his abiding word and promising a reversal of sin’s consequences (Isa. 40:3-11).   Scripture Reading: Isaiah 40: 3-5 ESV 3 A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord;     make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be lifted up,     and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level,     and the rough places a plain. 5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,     and all flesh shall see it together,     for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Proverbs 5-7

The Providence of God in the Affairs and the Prayers of Men!

Even though our past spiritual failures lead us astray, like it did Israel, (3:1-12) there is Hope for God’s people: The Lord’s providential plans, His Mercy and Grace, Christ’s instruction, and discipline bring forth a new season of peace and prosperity where God and His people will be exalted as a source of instruction, justice, and righteousness to the world. (4:1-5) The weak will become strong again, and authority, might, and power will be restored to God’s people under God’s Rule! (4:6-5:1)
