Isaiah 22: What troubles you now, that you have all gone up on the roofs,
….but you did not look to the One who made
it, or have regard for the One who planned it long ago.
All the leaders had fled to the roofs in this
story, to a place of refuge and hope atop their homes. And why had they fled there? Later in the chapter, we read of how these
people had fortified their cities and made every provision for their
preservation but did not acknowledge God or have regard for Him in all of their
busyness.
When we are troubled, where do we run to find
refuge? Atop the things that we have
made with our hands? Or do we run to
Jesus, the strong tower?
When we forget to acknowledge God in all of our
provision and preparation for longevity of life, we will find ourselves at some
point fleeing all that our hands have created in hopes of finding refuge
somewhere…
There is no other name but the name of Jesus and
no other refuge except safe in His arms.
Lord, forgive us for placing our hope and trust
in the things we’ve made.
