‘For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it… who shall turn it back?’ Isa 14:27
The people to whom Isaiah prophesied might ask, “What is this to us, or what assurance shall we have of it?” To both questions Isaiah answers by prophesying the ruin both of the Assyrians and of the Philistines, the present enemies that infested Israel, and that Israel should shortly be eye-witnesses of the Father’s promise. This should be a comfort to us today, and a promise of future deliverance, and posterity. God is to His children the same today that he was yesterday and will be hereafter.
This is what David experienced as well when the Father gave him the ability to defeat the lion, bear, and giants (1 Sam 17) and tread upon the adder (Psa 91). David had cast his love on trusting the Father for his deliverance, as the Father asks, (‘draw near to God… he rewards those who seek him.’ - Heb 11:6). It was David’s trust that empowered him and allowed for the Father to be faithful to His Word, as He was and always is!
No matter how mysterious or unreasonable it seems, the Father always keep His Word – Do we keep our hope? … HSAY
