I’m wondering if you’d be willing to join me in a prayer of repentance—repentance from arrogance. What have we done that God did not first do? What do we have that God didn’t first give us? Have any of us ever built anything that God could not destroy? Have we created any monument that the Master of the stars can’t reduce to dust? God asks this question through the prophet Isaiah:
“To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal? says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing” (Isaiah 40:25-26).
Let’s humble ourselves before the hand of God. Because God’s promises are unbreakable our hope is unshakable!
