“When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, he will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes. For he says: “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding; I remove the boundaries of peoples, and plunder their treasures; like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones.”

Isaiah 10:12-13 ESV

All,

This stands out because the king of Assyria says, “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;”. Does God give us success in this world or do we earn it? Is there a fine line between the two? Did we decide to which parents to be born? Did we decide what time in history to be born? Are you being a good steward of the gifts and opportunities He has given you? Are you using those gifts to build His kingdom or yours? Please pray that we and our friends be about God’s purpose today. Please pray for Jack Sullivan and the whole Sully family.
