Scripture:
“But the Lord will have mercy on the descendants of Jacob. He will choose Israel as his special people once again. He will bring them back to settle once again in their own land. And people from many different nations will come and join them there and unite with the people of Israel.” Isaiah 14:1 NLT
Observation:
God spoke these words long long ago. In some prophetic words, there is what is called a double fulfillment. God’s people have been scattered throughout the earth several times in history. This word is about them coming home form the nations. In our times, Israel has been restored as a nation and her people have been coming home to a country that was non-existent for two-thousand years. There has been a continual repopulation for decades now and they are stronger than ever.
Application:
When God says something will take place, He isn’t kidding. It may not happen when you want it to, but it will happen. There are prophetic words in Scripture that still haven’t come to pass, but we can rest assured that they will happen one day exactly how the Word says it will. Because of this, we know we can trust the promises of God. He is a God who does what He says He will do. We must let that encourage our faith and cause us to be bold as believers. In our personal lives, we must walk in continual faith and trust that God will accomplish in our lives what He has said.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to never lose heart. Your promises may not come when I want them to, but they always come. Help me to hold onto Your words and never let go. Let my faith and trust in You increase daily. Help me to walk with You and in step with Your Spirit. Work in me, Work on me. Work through me I pray.
Yours,
Jeff
