Seek Him Alone: A Devotional Study on Isaiah 2​

Introduction​

As we journey through the Book of Isaiah, we come to Chapter 2, an invitation to seek the Lord. In this study, we'll delve into the profound truths and spiritual insights embedded in this chapter, unpacking its significance and message for our lives today.

Section 1: The Mountain of the Lord (Isaiah 2:1-4)​

Devotional Thought: The Lord proclaims that He will establish a mountain as the pinnacle of His holiness. This mountain will serve as a place of instruction, and the Lord will arise as the ultimate authority and source of knowledge. This reality compels us to seek Him and His Word, recognizing that He alone is the ultimate source of wisdom and understanding.

Reflection Questions:

  • How often do you seek the Lord as the ultimate source of wisdom and understanding?
  • In what ways can you prioritize seeking the Lord in truth and knowledge?

Section 2: Shattering of Idols (Isaiah 2:5-22)​

Devotional Thought: The Lord denounces the idols of human and pagan creation, calling them useless and futile. He warns that the things we place our trust in will crumble to nothing. Today, consider the idols that you've placed before God in your life. Are there areas where you've turn to lesser sources of guidance and wisdom instead of seeking the Lord?

Reflection Questions:

  • Is there anything that you've placed before God in your life?
  • In what ways can you remove obstacles that distract you from seeking the Lord?

Section 3: The Multi-Nationed Response (Isaiah 2:5-12, 17, 18)​

Devotional Thought: The Lord invites the peoples of the earth to come to His mountain to learn His ways. This invitation extends beyond Israel, imploring all corners of the earth to seek the Lord. Let's reflect on this invitation, taking heed that this invitation is still open to people from all walks of life.

Reflection Questions:

  • Would you recommend this invitation to a friend or loved one who hasn't yet experienced the Lord?
  • How would you respond to this invitation if it were extended to you today?

Section 4: The Day of the Lord (Isaiah 2:12-22)​

Devotional Thought: The Lord speaks of a day when He will exact judgment on the earth. This day is not far removed, for it is the same day in which He returns to establish His mountain as the pinnacle of His holiness. Today, may we respond to His calls for repentance, reverence, and righteousness in preparation for this final day.

Reflection Questions:

  • Are you ready for the Day of the Lord?
  • In what ways can you prioritize repentance, reverence, and righteousness in preparation for this final day?
