In this chapter, Isaiah assures the people of Israel that the Lord will have mercy on his people and bring them back to their land. He also indicates how the king of Babylon will be treated by the dead when he enters the grave, along with a specific word from the Lord: “I, myself, have risen against him! I will destroy his children and his children’s children, so they will never sit on his throne. I will make Babylon into a desolate land, a place of porcupines, filled with swamps and marshes. I will sweep the land with the broom of destruction. I, the Lord Almighty, have spoken!” (Isaiah 14:22-23)
The chapter continues with a message about Assyria: “The Lord Almighty has sworn this oath: “It will all happen as I have planned. It will come about according to my purposes. I will break the Assyrians when they are in Israel; I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be their slaves. I have a plan for the whole earth, for my mighty power reaches throughout the world. The Lord Almighty has spoken – who can change his plans? When his hand moves, who can stop him?” (Isaiah 14:24-27) (Wow!!! Lord, you are AMAZING!!! There is no one who can intervene or interrupt God’s plan and God’s will! We just have to trust in Him and allow Him to do what He do! (does))
Lord, thank you for your Word today! Help us place complete trust in you! For you will never forsaken us or turn your back on your faithful ones! All we have to do is fall in love with you and trust you! Lord, we love you!
May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)
….AND MAY WE ALL PRACTICE THIS WITH ONE ANOTHER.
