Isaiah 22 – Pastor Mac Daily DEVO

In that day I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, 21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your sash on him, and will commit your authority to his hand. And he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. 22 And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David. He shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. Isaiah 22:20-22 – Isaiah is speaking against the leadership in Jerusalem. King Hezekiah was a faithful king, so this prophecy is directed to the unfaithful chief servant of the king, Shebna. While clothed in wealth and security, all that was to be taken away from Shebna due to unfaithfulness to the Lord and given to the faithful to the Lord servant Eliakim instead. As we read on in the chapter we also see the promise that any who followed Shebna, who “hung on the peg” that was Shebna, would also fall with him. As we then walk today, we must be sure to hang on the right peg. In Isaiah’s day, if something in the house was hung on a peg in the wall, it was thought to be safe and secure. What then are you hanging on today that is giving you safety and security? Is it Jesus? Or is it something else within this world? Know that if the “peg” you are hanging on in life is anything but Jesus, like Shebna it be removed and all that was hanging on it will fall with it. Be careful then what you hang your life on today, and know there is a safe peg that is Jesus that will never be removed and can provide safety and security for your life for eternity. I love you, but Jesus loves you more - Mac

Question To Ponder: What is something you see the lost world hanging their life on for safety and security? Have you ever found yourself hanging yourself on the wrong pegs?
