Adoring God In Isaiah 46 (Jul 17)

God Cares & Sustains Us

In amazing collection of specific
prophecies (chap 44-48) Isaiah
foretells the agent of comfort God
will use in delivering His people
(Cyrus, king of Persia) and the
means of comfort God will employ
(destruction of adulterous Babylon).
Isaiah taunts those who would
put their trust in mere images of
stone and wood. And God declares
I am God and there is none like me.

Lord, You’ll Care & Sustain Us:
Listen to Me all you who are left
in Israel. I created you and have
Cared for you since you’re born.
Even to your old age & grey hairs
I am He who will Sustain you.
I have made you and I will Carry
you; I will Sustain you and I will
rescue you (Isaiah 46:3-4).
I am God and there is no other;
I am God and there is none like me.
I make known the end from the
beginning… what is still to come.
I say: My Purpose Will Stand,
and I Will Do all that I please…
I will also bring it to pass. I have
purpose it; I will also do it (v9-11).
Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted,
I bring My righteousness near…
My salvation shall not linger (v12-13)

Lord, help me to realise that You
are everlastingly my Father. And
that You know me intimately and
every moment of my entire lifetime.
Help me to rely on You through
every season of my entire life.
Help me to rest in the knowledge
that even at old age, You will be
caring and sustaining me. Amen.

Lord, You will always be with
me for You are a relational God.
No matter what the circumstance,
Your Word gives the assurance
that You will always be near me.
And that You will always fulfil
and do what You have purposed.
For You are my maker God and the
one who will sustain and save me.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Lord, You are In Control of the
whole world, including my life.
You alone know the future and
can orchestrate the events of life.
Help me Lord to listen to You and
grant me Lord the grace to trust
that You will work things out
for my good and for Your glory.
And let Your righteousness bring
deliverance without delay. Amen.
