Isaiah 22 delivers a message of judgment on Jerusalem. Instead of humbling themselves before God in a time of crisis, the people chose denial and self-indulgence—saying, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” The chapter also warns against misplaced trust in human leaders, using Shebna (the proud steward) as an example, and contrasts him with Eliakim, who is established by God as a faithful servant.
This passage reminds us that when trouble comes, God calls us to repentance and reliance on Him—not to escape into pleasure or to depend on human strength. True security and leadership are found only in the Lord’s chosen one.
In times of crisis, God calls us to repentance and trust in Him. Pride and self-reliance lead to downfall, but those who humble themselves under God’s authority will stand firm.
