"Pride's Foolish Trade: Beauty for Repulsion!" (Isaiah 3:16-4:1) - Daily Manna - 09/18/25

“Pride’s Foolish Trade: Beauty for Repulsion” (Isaiah 3:16-4:1)

What happens when we exalt ourselves instead of God? Isaiah paints a sobering picture: pride doesn’t just fail to deliver what it promises — it leaves us empty, stripped of every false support, and desperate for someone to cover our shame.

In this powerful message, Rabbi Cosmo unpacks Isaiah 3:16–4:1, showing how pride is more than arrogance — it’s subtle, sneaky, and often looks like self-reliance or independence. God’s response isn’t cruel punishment but mercy that removes the props we lean on, inviting us to trust Him fully. And even when everything is stripped away, hope remains: “In that day, the Branch of Adonai will be beautiful and glorious.”

Discover the call to lay down self-exaltation and receive the beauty, covering, and provision that only Messiah can give.

Watch now and be challenged to trade your pride for His presence.
