Stop Hanging Your Everything on Even the Best of Humanity… Hang Only on the Lord (Isaiah 22:15-25)

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

Isaiah 22:15–25 gives one of the most dramatic confrontations in the prophetic books. God sends Isaiah to rebuke Shebna—a leader consumed with image, status, and self-exaltation—and then raises up Eliakim, a righteous servant who becomes “a peg in a firm place.” But even this faithful leader can only carry so much. In the end, the Lord says the peg will give way—not because Eliakim failed, but because no human being was ever designed to carry the weight that belongs only to God.

This message unpacks what it means to trust God rather than personalities, platforms, or human strength. This passage exposes the danger of self-exalting leadership, reminds us of the limits of even the best leaders, and points us to the only One who can truly carry the full weight of our hope—Yeshua, the One who holds the key of David forever.

In this teaching, you’ll discover:

• Why God confronts Shebna’s self-exalting leadership

• How Eliakim becomes a picture of faithful, fatherly stewardship

• Why even righteous leaders eventually “give way”

• The prophetic connection between Isaiah 22 and Revelation 3

• Why only Yeshua can carry the government on His shoulders

• How to shift your trust from humans to the unshakeable Messiah

If you’ve ever depended too heavily on a person—or been disappointed when someone you trusted couldn’t carry what you placed on them—this message will bring clarity, conviction, and hope.
