## Resource

True hope is only possible because of the reality of judgment and destruction. This study of Isaiah 13-15 explores how the certainty of God's ultimate victory provides the foundation for enduring faith.

## Highlights
- Main idea: The existence of judgment in scripture is what makes the promise of hope necessary and meaningful
- Theological insight: Prophets like Isaiah use warnings of destruction to call people back to obedience and reliance on God
- Practical takeaway: Identify areas in your life where fear is preventing you from fully relying on God
- Failure mode: Taking God's provision for granted can lead to a lack of true dependence on Him
- Actionable challenge: Write down specific fears or areas of self-reliance to surrender them to God in prayer
