Why must we persist? Well, here’s why I persist: Because, when everything God has foretold, to this point, has come to pass; even when the script is flipped, and the scene changes, my faith demands endurance. For as it is written:
Moreover, is this promise (come on Isaiah, PREACH!!!):
Heavenly FATHER, I give thanks today, and always, that you are not a respecter of man; but, You, by the blood of Jesus, when we confess, repent and turn away from sin, bequeath to ALL who receive (even me O’ Lord), the gift of GRACE. Thank You Jesus. O’ taste and see . . . For even in the midst of chastening did I present my case, regarding the instructions of my assignment, before you, O’ Sovereign God, and did also bring Your promises into your remembrance. And You, O’ LORD, heard and answered (yes, even in the midst of chastening did You hear, and answer me). You forgave me of my transgressions, and remembered Your covenant, wherein You promised to contend with those who contended with me. You likewise reassured me, in covenant, of Isaiah 54:9. Thank You LORD. FATHER, You know my heart, in that the declaration and decree of Isaiah 54:9 means more to me than words can express; for my only desire is to please You. Certainly, You continue to exhibit, on my behalf, the promises in all of Isaiah; but, particularly, Isaiah 54, for which I give never-ending thanks. As for the rest, and in all things, THY WILL BE DONE. In Jesus name. Amen.
Commentary: ISAIAH 54:9 WOW!!! What a powerful, undeserved, and almost incomprehensible promise; yet, my heart is humbled and forever receptive). Give Him glory, for even in the fury of His chastening, God is kind, compassionate, comforting and restorative to all who persist in obedience. Who wouldn’t love and serve a God like that? I DO LOVE HIM SO.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
“for all these things must come to pass”
“for all these things must come to pass”
Moreover, is this promise (come on Isaiah, PREACH!!!):
“So shall my WORD be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
(WORD? yes, all of HIS WORD)
Yes, Amen
Yes, Amen
