Isaiah 10

It took me about 5 minutes to reasd this passage. God explained to Isaiah that he has selected Assyria as his "weapon of my anger" against Israel. But what God had intended and what Assyria accomplished were not the same. Assyria overstepped its deviegn directive and took credit for all that Gods had accomplished through them. Because they rejected God's hand in their victories God was going to bring on them the same fate that he planned for Israel; destruction. This should be a warning to us as well. When God brings about victories in our lives we need to continually bring the glory back to him, and recognize his actions. We can not save ourselves, and equally we cannot win any victory unless God enables us.
