Isaiah 10:20 “And it shall come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and such as have escaped of the house of Jacob, will never again depend on him who defeated them, But will depend on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.”
The context of our verse reveals that Israel was looking to false gods and they even looked for help from their enemies, the Assyrians rather than looking to God for help. Because they were turning to their enemies for help, they would be experiencing defeat. Isaiah explains that this defeat by the one they depended on would once and for all turn Israel to depend on the LORD.
On your journey through this life, what are you depending on? Who are you depending on? Where does your help come from? Do you look to God? Are you dependent on God?
You might recall that David asked in Psalm 121:1 where his help would come from. Psalm 121:1 says, “I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?” He then answered in verse 2 with a declaration that “My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.”
Have you made the bold declaration that your help comes from the Lord?
It is worth being reminded here that our God delights and is delighted that His children are dependent on Him! I have found that the more spiritually mature one is the more you depend on Him. It is the spiritually immature who look to other sources rather than coming to God!
Ponder this. As physical human beings, we start out being dependent on our parents and they work to move us to a place of independence. We track maturity by independence!
As spiritual beings, we start out being independent of God and then we get saved (a statement of total dependence), and then we grow more dependent on God. Spiritual maturity increases as we become more dependent on God.
Are you growing in your dependence on God?
Psalm 20:7 says, “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God.”
