Deep dives

Rebellion and Trust in the Lord

Isaiah, in chapters 30 and 31, speaks of a rebellious people who seek help from Egypt instead of trusting in God. Despite their plans and alliances, God warns that seeking refuge in Egypt will only bring shame and disgrace, as Egypt's help is worthless. The rebellious people ignore God's instruction, preferring smooth words over the truth. Despite their rebellion, God promises salvation and guidance for those who turn away from idols and trust in Him.
