Verse 15
FAITH TRIED IN THE FIRE
‘Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires.’
Isaiah 24:15
The suffering child of God will ‘glorify Him in the fires.’
I. By acknowledging His power.
II. By recognising His wisdom.
III. By a frank acknowledgment of His goodness.
Illustration
‘In this chapter the prophet describes the general desolation about to overtake the earth of his time, when it should be utterly emptied and utterly spoiled, when the world would languish and fade away, and the high ones of the people languish. The polluted earth, groaning beneath the curse of those who have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, and broken the everlasting covenant, sighs in bitter anguish. But amidst it all the children of God, dwelling on Mount Zion, rejoice in the reign of their King.’
