Isaiah - Verse By Verse

Isaiah - Day 127

Scripture:  Isaiah 7:7 (NIV):  "Yet this is what the Sovereign LORD says:  'It will not take place, it will not happen,' "

Thought:  To me, to be on God's side should be everyone's goal.

Question:  Has God intervened on my behalf against Satan?

As mentioned in yesterday's blog:  though Satan has his desire to conquer us, he may not!  What God wills will be so!  God intervenes.  He doesn't always, for even grander purposes, but when He does there is no way any enemy can win.

I love the little connector word "yet" here at the beginning of the verse.  Though Satan has his intentions (and we must not deny their existance), God's decisions will overrule them.  What Satan plans "will not take place, it will not happen."  What confidence and peaceful hope this instills in us!  To be on God's side is an absolute binding guarantee of victory.  There is no better brand of insurance anywhere!

Prayer:  King of Kings, I rejoice in Your awesome purity and strength over evil!  Help me to cast away all doubts and worries of failure:  You can conquer my enemyYou have already conquered my enemy!  Amen.
