"Flesh Versus Spirit… Which is ACTUALLY Solid?" (Isaiah 31:1-9) - Daily Manna - 01/05/26


Devotional Companion with Discussion Questions: https://shalomaz.com/isaiah-devotionals


We all say we trust God—but when pressure hits, what do we actually lean on?


In Isaiah 31, the Lord confronts a familiar human instinct: trusting what we can see, touch, and measure instead of trusting His Spirit. Judah ran to Egypt, to horses and chariots—things that looked strong and dependable—while ignoring the Holy One of Israel. God exposes the illusion of “solid” solutions and reveals a deeper truth: flesh always crumbles, but the Spirit never fails.


This teaching walks through Isaiah 31 verse by verse, uncovering the tension between flesh and Spirit, visible strength and true security, and discipline that awakens versus judgment that destroys. Along the way, we see a God who confronts rebellion, yet relentlessly fights for His people—even when they are running from Him.


If you’ve ever wrestled with fear, control, or the temptation to trust human solutions over God’s voice, this message will challenge—and gently call—you back to what is actually solid.
