My devotions today led me to Isaiah 14: 24 & 26 - 27.
"The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:............This is the purpose, that is proposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.For the Lord of Hosts hath proposed, and who shall disannul it: and his hand is stretch out, and who shall turn it back?"
Isaiah 26: 3 - 10
"He will keep in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee.Trust in the Lord forever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; in the lofty city, he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.The way of the just is uprightness; thou, most upright dost weigh the path of the just.Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name and to the remembrance of thee.With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early; for when thy judgments are on the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.Let favor be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not be righteousness; in the land of the uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the Majesty Of The LORD."
