Isaiah 31

Where is my Egypt? Isaiah 31 begins with a discussion regarding those who depend on Egypt. With Judah squeezed between the military powers of Assyria and Egypt it would be tempting to turn to one if the other one attacks. But God's message is a reminder that there is another ally to pursue; him. He then spends the rest of the chapter detailing why he is a better ally than Egypt and a more dreadful enemy than Assyria. The same is true today. What ever country seeks to destroy the church God is stronger and more persistent. What ever army we view as protective, God is not only stronger he is a more effective defender and he never tires or depletes his weapons. Too often I am foolish enough to neglect this friend. That is my failing.
