Isaiah 30:3

Copyright Ó 2015 J. Neely
Isaiah 30:3

3 Therefore shall the strength [ma`owz] of Pharaoh [Par`oh] be your shame [bosheth], and the trust [chacuwth] in the shadow [tsel] of Egypt [Mitsrayim] your confusion [k@limmah].   KJV-Interlinear

3 Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation.   ESV

Remember the parable of the sower?  The path and the rocks and the weeds, all represent the soils that are people who lack spiritual initiative, lack spiritual drive, people who want someone else to do things for them, or presume that they do not need anything else in their life.  They do not make any effort in digging out the truth of life, even when it is right in front of them.  Their destiny is failure.

All those who pursue schemes and ideas and beliefs that are only most agreeable to their own views, are wicked.  If you follow Gods views then you are not.  But assuming that your views are the same as Gods views, especially when you do not comply with Gods mandates, is a wrong assumption.

The wicked seek the protection and advice of the world, and are comfortable with that arrangement in their life.  And, when you purse something that is clearly wrong, then when the truth is discovered, it becomes your shame.  And when everyone knows, then it becomes your humiliation or great embarrassment.

And that is what a lot of people who are believers in Christ, will have when they get into heaven, shame and embarrassment.  They will not realize it themselves until they get into heaven.

Note that shame and embarrassment are not sins, just the recognition of a foolishly lived and therefore wasted, life.





These studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org, and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so already, and therefore not be lost forever. 

And if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever. 

To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.

The Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to complete yourself beyond your imagination.

But you have to decide to make that commitment.  No one else can study for you.  You have to do that yourself.
