What God Plans...Will Come to Pass

Scripture:

Isaiah 14:24 "Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen".

Observation:

In this passage, God is speaking to Isaiah concerning the nations that are around them and how He has promised to bring judgment on them.  As He is declaring His judgment on these nations, his little saying pops up about God.  "As I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will happen".  In this case it meant war and destruction was coming to some surrounding countries, but overall it is a statement about the faithfulness of God.

Application:

When God says something...It is going to happen.  What He has planned and purposed will come to pass.  We can trust God in this.  If we continue in Him, He will bring about His plans and purposes in our lives.  What God plans...will come to pass!  If God said it...it is going to happen as long as we continue to seek after Him with a pure heart.  We must learn to trust God and take Him at His word.  When we don't see the answer coming, we must hold on...He will do what He says He will do.

Prayer:

Father, help me to trust You more each day.  You are faithful and you do what you say you are going to do from destroying nations to raising up Your people.  You are amazing!  I ask You to help me walk by faith and not by sight.

Your Son,
Jeff
