God’s Promises Will Be Fulfilled
Backgrounder on Isaiah 52-57:
Nowhere in the OT will you see
a clearer picture of the horrible
price of your redemption than in
these six chapters. Many verses
show the anquish our Savior,
as suffering servant, endured
in paying the awful price of sin.
Lord, Your Ways are Higher
and Shall Be Accomplished:
My thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways My ways, says
the Lord. For as the heavens are
higher than the earth, so are
My Ways Higher than your ways,
& My thoughts than your thoughts.
As the rain come down from heaven
and do not return to it without
watering the earth and making it
bud and flourish… so is my word
that goes out from my mouth:
it will not return to me empty,
but Will Accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for
which I sent it (Isa 55:8-11). Amen
Lord, we realise Your plan may
seems crazy, for You sometimes
use foolish things, weak things
and the lowly things to accomplish
your purposes. For Your thoughts
are not our thoughts, neither are
our ways Your ways. When things
don’t make sense prompt us
O Holy Spirit to ask You for wisdom
to discern what You are doing.
For I will be a fool if I didn’t take
You at Your Word & trust U. Amen
Lord, I praise you that your words
do not come back empty, that
they do the work you sent them
to do & accomplish your purpose.
Grant me to be hungry to read
the Bible each day and value
Your Word more than silver, gold
or anything this world offers. Amen.
Lord, I thank You that Your Word
always accomplishes the purpose
for which You sent it. Enable me
to secure the power that is in
Your Word by having it planted
so firmly in my heart that it guides
everything I do. Help me to weave
Your Word into my prayers so that
it becomes a powerful weapon
against which the enemy cannot
prevail. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
