Rev. John Lukomski, retired pastor in Darmstadt, Illinois, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Isaiah 47.

Babylon thought she was invincible. True, she was God’s weapon of justice against His own people, but she went too far. She forgot her place, she became merciless and oppressive, and she relied on her own charms and enchantments instead of giving glory to God. Like Cinderella, she went from a princess in a coach to a servant girl in a pumpkin just like that.

God defeats even His people’s most impressive enemies—but we must be humble. We too fall into the trap of Babylon, unlovingly berating people and thinking our own cleverness will solve every problem. Only Jesus Christ is the savior; our wisdom always comes second to Him.
