MAKE SURE OF OUR CALLING! Isaiah 8:13 (KJV) 13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. The prophet Isaiah spoke, the Israelites had done the unthinkable—they had fallen into the immoralities of their pagan neighbors. In addition, they had made a treaty with Assyria rather than relying on the Lord to protect them against their enemies (2 Ki. 16:1-9). Isaiah said they were worried about the wrong things. Instead of fearing their enemies, they should have been thinking about the Lord (Isa. 8:12-13). The Lord promised that He would be a sanctuary for those who put their trust in Him. But to those who rejected His offer, He would be “a stone of stumbling” and a hunter’s snare (v.14). Romans 12:2 (KJV) 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. We who profess faith in Christ need to make sure God is the one we fear. Whenever we join others in their sins or behave as if we are afraid of offending them! Our challenge is to fear the Lord above everyone else, and to show it by what we do and say! 6/17/2013 7:20:18 AM/pEtEr/Chennai/INDIA
