“I set my face as a flint.”

“For the Lord will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded; therefore have I set my face like a flint and I know that I shall not be ashamed.” Isaiah 50:7

This prophecy came forth out of the mouth of the Messiah through the Lord’s prophet, Isaiah. But what is “a flint”? Flint is one of the hardest stones in the world. It has been used to start fires. When Isaiah prophesied this, it means that Jesus knew about His persecution and torture that He would endure. He “set His face like a flint.” Nothing could deter Him… Even when He was on the cross, He could have called 10,000 angels to come to His rescue, but He set His face towards His Father and endured.

Today, do you “set your face as a flint” to obey or, do you “chicken out” at the last moment? Is there something you must do? “Set your face as a flint!” Do not look to the left or right and do not listen to anyone! Just do it! The Lord is right beside you!
