No More Glory For Moab!


‘No More Glory For Moab.’
Isaiah 16:13-14.
a)     God had already spoken so many things concerning Moab.
b)     Moab’s glory and greatness were to last no longer than three further years.
c)     There were to be very few survivors left in Moab.
d)     These survivors would be helpless and feeble.
(There is something for me to learn in this QT: No More Glory For Moab. I need to walk with the Lord in humility and obedience)

Chris.
True Believers are not born as such by blood. True Believers are born of God. These people have evidently and assuredly received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Their life is centred on the Word in two ways. Firstly, on Christ the Living Word of God and secondly, on God’s Living Word the Bible.
