“He Will Shield It And
Deliver It”
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses,
who trust in the multitude of their chariots and in the great strength of their
horsemen, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel, or seek help from the LORD.
Yet he too is wise and can bring disaster; he does not take back his words. He
will rise up against that wicked nation, against those who help evildoers. But the Egyptians are mere mortals and not
God; their horses are flesh and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his
hand, those who help will stumble, those who are helped will fall; all will
perish together.
This
is what the LORD says to me: “As a lion growls, a great lion over its prey— and
though a whole band of shepherds is called together against it, it is not
frightened by their shouts or disturbed by their clamor— so the LORD Almighty
will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights. Like birds
hovering overhead, the LORD Almighty will shield
Isaiah 31:1-5
One
roar of a lion sends all other animals running.
Such
it is with our God. He has everything under control. He knows what needs to be
done for us, and He will do those things that need to be done, when He decides
it is time for something to be done.
We
can get anxious waiting. Just know that all things will work out, in His time.
He know Jesus, the Lion of Judah, will triumph.
Because God is in control, we have nothing to fear.
