January 15: Isaiah 25:1-5
 
Key Verse: Isaiah 25:2
You have made the city a heap of rubble, the fortified town a ruin, the foreigners’ stronghold a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.
 
Devotion:
No matter how strong we think we are, no matter how invincible we believe we are – nothing can compare to your might and power God! Over the past few decades we have seen quite a few tyrants brought down and we have even seen great countries brought to their knees by scandal and infighting – all because mankind has thought they could do anything.
 
God is faithful and just. This means He will listen to all our prayers and He will answer them – but He will also bring to justice those who pervert the course of justice for their own greed and wants. God is here for all mankind and He will do what is righteous and just. He will always uphold the truth and will ensure the truth will get to be told, no matter what!
 
Sometimes we may have to wait a season before the right people are in the right positions so the truth can get out. Sometimes we have to wait until a tyrant is taken out of the picture before the truth can be safely told to others – we are the ones who need to learn about patience, waiting for the truth to be told.
 
God can bring down anyone and anything. If we do not listen to His guidance and, instead, lean on our own understanding, then we will fall in front of justice and the truth. God wants us to be standing up in front of truth and justice instead, not waiting in the shadows too frightened to come out in case we are found out! Trust in the truth and allow God to guide you forward with Him.
 
Points to Ponder:
Do you have any skeletons in your closet?
 
Will you strive to tell the truth today?
