“Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and comes to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them” (Isaiah 19:1 ESV). “They will inquire of the idols and the sorcerers, and the mediums and the necromancers; and I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a hard master, and a fierce king will rule over them, declares the Lord GOD of hosts.” (Isaiah 19:3–4 ESV).
Egypt’s ultimate trust was in their idols and the ultimate result was oppression. Where is your ultimate trust? Does that trust lead you in to freedom or oppression? The interesting thing about idols is that you can inquire of them for wisdom and direction, but they don’t answer. Where do you go for wisdom, insight and direction?
