What does Isaiah 10:2 mean? β†’

Passage Context

1Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;
2To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!
3And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
4Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Devotional Reflection

FearShame

Complete control corrupts entirely since it allows us to acquire things we shouldn't and makes us forget our origins by enabling us to ignore the cries of the oppressed. Complete power corrupts because only God is able to control all power! Our desire for it is the thirst to be God, which is similar to the sin committed by Adam and Eve. True power, however, is utilized to help the weak, uplift the unfortunate, pardon the guilty, and support the helpless. It is power acceptable to the Complete Power.

Prayer

Almighty and incomparable God, I don't want to use my time to put myself in a position where I can control others. Give me the grace, the capability, and the chance to benefit others, not so I can feel important or superior, but so they may be blessed and You can be thanked. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
