*Isaiah‬ ‭16:12‬ ‭NIV* “When Moab appears at her high place, she only wears herself out; when she goes to her shrine to pray, it is to no avail.”‬‬

*16:12:* When the people of Moab experienced God’s wrath, they sought their own idols and gods. Nothing happened, however, because there was no one there to save them. When we seek our own ways of escape in order to get through our daily troubles, the effect is the same: no pleasure, pastime, or man-made religious idea will come to save us. Our hope lies in God, the only One who can hear and help.
