Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 27th February 2024
Isaiah sets forth the intervention of our God in the current affairs of men (vs.17-20). He challenges the idols of the nations around Israel to show their capacity. Our God who is from generation to generation has walked that road with His people from Egypt to the Promised Land. He can foretell what happens in the future, but these idols are dumb. They cannot do that because they are nothing but wind. They are works of delusion (v.29). These idols are man-made and yet people put their trust in them. As children of God, we need to put our trust only in God whose promises are true and has never failed (Deuteronomy 7:9).
Today we have many idols in different areas of our lives such as money, sex, power, possessions etc, but all these cannot pass the test Isaiah puts before us. All these are traps that will cause us untold harm. They cannot deliver what we need. They cannot tell what will happen in the days ahead nor help us when we get into trouble. Only God, the creator, is to be trusted with our lives.

Closing Prayer
Dear Lord, my God, I refuse to be controlled by anything that poses as alternative god in my life. Please help me trust and serve you alone.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Psalms 46:1
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
