The Fallen To The Risen

​

​​The fortress of the high fort of your walls
​​He will bring down, lay low,
​​And bring to the ground, down to the dust.​ Isaiah 25:12

In the past week, some of my high forts were knocked down. Yes, Isaiah is speaking out in the Lord against Moab. But this pertains to our forts as well; those strongholds of talent, intellect, physical strength, health, wealth, and other worldly forts that we think just might save us from something. We are blessed by the Lord when those forts that stand in our lives against Him are brought down to the dust.

Whatever may stand between us and the Lord, and our complete dependence upon Him and His salvation, must be thrown down, down to the ground. So that we cannot try to say silly things like, "I helped the Lord save me!" ​Nope, me and you were no help in salvation at all, only the blood of the Lamb could cleanse such a fallen one as you and me. The fallen must come to the risen to be saved, and it is only the Risen Lord Jesus who can save.

Praise God for His Risen Savior!
