Only God Can Save (Isaiah 12–17) Lifespring! One Year Bible Rewind — S3E019 Today’s reading is Isaiah 12–17. These chapters remind us that no matter how strong a person appears, no matter how powerful a nation becomes, human strength will always fall short. Only God can save. I am your OG Godcaster, Steve Webb. As we look at these passages together, we are encouraged to place our trust not in what seems solid around us, but in the Lord who never fails. Isaiah 12 — Praise to the God Who Saves Isaiah 12 is a chapter of joyful worship. God is the source of our salvation, and He invites us to come to Him with gladness. When we remember His faithfulness, our hearts naturally turn to praise. This chapter encourages us to practice gratitude, especially when life feels uncertain. Therefore, we learn that worship is not only a response to blessing. It also strengthens us when times are hard. Isaiah 13–14 — God Brings Down the Proud Next, Isaiah warns Babylon, the picture of human pride. Their power seemed unshakable. However, the Lord brought them low. These chapters teach that pride isolates us from God and blinds us to truth. As a result, the fall of Babylon becomes a warning for every heart. We are called to walk in humility, remembering that God alone is sovereign. Isaiah 15–17 — Sorrow and the Call to Return Then, the focus shifts to Moab and other nations facing loss and sorrow. Their strength fades, and their plans collapse. Nevertheless, even in judgment, God’s heart remains open. He calls people to return to Him. When we turn back to God, we find compassion and restoration. Altogether, these chapters show the contrast between the fragility of human power and the permanence of God’s love. Therefore, we choose to trust Him fully. He alone can save. He alone holds our future. And because of that, our worship is steady and sincere.
