The Lord GOD helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced.
Isaiah 50:7
As I read Isaiah 50:7, I am reminded that at times while I am able to live and act by the example of Christ, I am indeed challenged to stay focused at all times—‘to set my face like a flint.’ With God’s help, throughout my life, I have weighed thoughts and indeed actions at times by three principles: head, voice, and heart. God expects us to follow his commandments—and with His help, our daily effort will set the example for others.
We should only hope that someday everyone will act in this way, but until they do, we should strive to set our faces like flint and follow Christ.
