Isa
8:11
For the Lord spake thus to me
with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this
people, saying,
The Lord Speaks Strongly
The
Lord was speaking to Isaiah in a very strong and authoritative way. Our God is God. He has the right to make a stand and speak as
One who has authority because He is the One from whom all authority is
given. Isaiah was being warned to not
go along with all of the people who were deciding to align themselves with
pagan nations to protect themselves against marauding forces. God spoke strongly to Isaiah and warned him
NOT to follow the cultural pattern. When
most people around us are choosing something other than trusting and living for
God, God will speak strongly to His people to come out from among them and be
separate. This weighty word is meant to
press on us with greater weight than the weight of peer or cultural
pressure. Don’t be afraid of the weighty
words of the Lord. Receive them. God will speak and it is a privilege to hear
Him. Let the weight of His warnings
speak great love and care to you and OBEY!
