Isaiah 3-4 Responsible Leadership Removed

I fear that chapter 3 definitely could be describing our country today.  As my commentary put it, “In that day … the Lord will take away the responsible leadership that the people had depended on … There will be a lack of capable, mature leaders in every walk of life.  It will be a time of oppression, anarchy, insolence, disrespect, and insubordination.”  People will try to draft anyone to take charge of “these ruins”.  “No one is to blame for the calamity but the people themselves,” Isaiah said.  He tells us that one result of their sin is that they are being led by the inexperienced and immature, by the weak, and by deceivers, according to my commentary.

Father, we need strong, godly leadership at every level of government and society in this country.  But since post posts are elective, it goes back to exactly what You say here:  Our populace is becoming shameless and filled with partiality.  Call us to repentance, Father.  Heal our land.  Bring spiritual healing.  Bring us back to You.

Your Brother In Christ,
