Isaiah 31:7 KJV
For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his
idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.
Isaiah preached that, during the Assyrian invasion, the people would
find out that their idols were useless. They would cast them away as they fled
for their lives. At one time they
- Bowed down to them
- Placed value in them and
- Made sacrifices to them
Now they are just so much waste, a hindrance in their flight.
Contrast that with Christ. Countless are the accounts of foxhole and
prison cell conversions where men and women who, having ignored Christ
previously, in peril cry out to the Lord. Criticize the sincerity of those
conversions if you please they do demonstrate the difference between the idol
and the Lord. So far from fleeing Christ in a time of peril, they now flee to
Him.
- How much better would it be then to come to
the Lord previous to peril?
- How much better to have assurances of His
presence, His care and His aide in the time of flight?
- How much wiser is the one who, in youth,
comes to know Christ as Saviour, friend and companion?
