The Lord says, “Clear the road! Get
it ready for my people.” Our holy God lives forever in the highest heavens, and
this is what he says: Though I live high above in
the holy place, I am here to help those who are humble and
depend only on me.
Isaiah 57:14-15
Emmanuel is
another name for Jesus and it means “God with us!” You might turn and walk away from God, but He
will not walk away from you. Jesus
Himself said, “I will be with you always.”
In Isaiah 57
the promise to help us is for those who are humble and who depend only on
God. That means that we should not
expect God to help if we are proud and depend on lots of other things in our
walk through life. God is not a God of
last resort. He wants to be the first
one you turn to as well as the last.
If Emmanuel
saves you, then you cannot be lost! But
if Jesus Christ does not help you then there is no help that can redeem you
from the pit of Hell. He is the way and
the only way. He is the truth and the
only truth and Jesus is the life and the only life!
Make it your
goal today to be humble and rid yourself of everything you depend on except
Jesus! Then He will help you! That is His guarantee and you can bet your
life on it!
“Lord Jesus,
help me today to depend only on You my Lord and my God. May You be praised forever. Amen.”
