Isaiah 22 Where is your hope?

Isaiah, as God’s prophet, speaks to his people in Judah and Jerusalem. They had, like their neighbors, forsaken the Lord. He had no other choice but to bring discipline upon them in hopes of restoring their relationship to Him. However, even with this predication, they failed to turn to God. When God speaks about your sin, do you turn to Him or do you seek other avenues of healing? This chapter speaks about God’s loving endurance and His hope to restore His people even while they remain in their stubbornness. How is this like us today? What does God have to do to restore us to Himself? Where is your hope? In men, possessions, or in God? 

Will you return to God and his ways or continue on in your stubbornness. The godless Balaam had an encounter with a talking donkey to bring him to his senses. Is this what God has to do with you? Where is your hope and security?
