"O
LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee
only will we make mention of thy name." (Isaiah 26: 13)
It means that whatever we are enslaved to, they dominate us. As such, we humans are ruled by various lords. Different types of sins rule us. That is why Jesus Christ said, "Whoever commits sin is the slave of sin." (John 8:34)
Similarly, people are
addicted to money, position and fame and use various tricks to achieve them.
These rule many people. They completely change their qualities.
We many times have done the
above sins and various actions without considering God as superior, so far we
have lived to be ruled by other lords other than you; Isaiah says in today's
verse that, we will depend on you alone and proclaim your name.
Apostle Paul says that worshipping
other Gods than our Lord is the reason for this; instead of worshiping the
created God, worshiping the created things. "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and
worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for
ever." (Romans 1: 25)
He says that people do
inappropriate things because they do not have the heart to grasp the knowledge
of knowing the true God.
"And
even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over
to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" (Romans
1: 28) That
is, God gives them over to evil thoughts. So, when we do not have the heart to
know God, these evil thoughts rule us.
The Apostle Paul also lists what our character will be like when we are ruled by lords other than God: -
"Being
filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters,
inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding,
covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:" (Romans
1: 29 - 31)
Beloved, see how wicked we become when we give place to other lords!! Therefore, "Lord, we were of such qualities when other lords ruled over us, now we depend on You alone and proclaim Your name." Let's sincerely report to him. Then, He Himself will guide us completely.
