INTRODUCTION:Today we will be studying portions of chapter 28, 30, 31 of Isaiah and the ways we seekfor and find security outside God.

WORD:

Read aloud together or take turns.

Suggestion: Read in different Bible translations. It is okay if this takes a while.

ISAIAH 28:16; 30:1-5; 31:1-3

REFLECTION:

Q1: What sticks out to you?

Q2: Who do the people of God turn to for protection in Isaiah 30:1-5?

Q3: Why does the human heart do this? We do we pursue other gods? Why do we returnto Egypt?

Q4: What are the consequences for turning and trusting Pharoah in Isaiah 31:1-3?

THOUGHT: To turn in the Bible refers to repentance. Turning away from one thing to turn towardanother. What gods do you need to turn away from and turn instead to God?
