“The Humiliation Of The Haughty.”
Monday, April 7, 2025Key Verse
“Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret paths” (Isaiah 3:17).
Text —Isaiah 3:14-26
Message
Our text reveals God’s judgment on the daughters of Zion who were proud. As a result of their action and attitude, He planned to replace their beauty with ashes. Many youths today are haughty and have little or no regard for parents, teachers, church leaders, and friends. They assume they are better off because of the special qualities they have, the achievements attained, family background, physical beauty, popularity in the church, school, etc. They forget that a man or woman can receive nothing except it be given him or her of the Lord.
Nebuchadnezzar, Herod, and Absalom received judgment from God due to the pride they exhibited and the Bible warns that “pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Those who are proud are replicating what Satan did that made God to throw him out of heaven. Those who choose to be proud have chosen a pernicious way and damnation awaits them except they repent. Ladies, be not proud like Queen Vashti who lost her royal estate to Esther due to pride. Repent now if you are proud.
