Isaiah 31

It took me about 2 minutes to read this passage. In verse 1 of this chapter the Message notes that there were people in Judah who were "awed by the sheer numbers of chariots and riders" that Egypt had to display. That brought up a very important question; what awes me?
If the things that we treasure the most become the recipients of our money wouldn't it also be true that the things, or people, who awe us become the objects of our worship?   Wouldn't that which fulfills our highest ideals become our standard for measuring the value of all the things in our lives. If we are awed by God then won't we fall in line with everything that he has revealed to us? I need to make sure the things that I desscribe as awesome are indeed the working of God.
