DAY 88: "INSTRUMENTS"
Summary:
Jared opened the meeting with a reading from Isaiah 10:15 and a prayer. He cautioned against spiritual arrogance, reminding the group that their successes are attributable to God's blessings and that they are merely instruments in His hands. He referenced the prophet Isaiah's prediction of the attack by the Assyrians to illustrate God's control over history.
Isaiah 10:15
Shall the ax boast itself against him who chops with it?
Or shall the saw exalt itself against him who saws with it?
As if a rod could wield itself against those who lift it up,
Or as if a staff could lift up, as if it were not wood!
