When God plans it, He finishes it - Isaiah 23-28


God makes plan. And, when God plans He does so in complete faithfulness and truth. God does not plan a plan that does not come from both perfect truth and is fulfilled in perfect faithfulness. In Isaiah 25 we begin reading Isaiah's praise for God's faithfulness to his perfect fulfillment of those plans. Isaiah begins by stating that God's plans are formed from "long ago." He alerts us to the fact that God not only plans things but does so ahead of time. He not only plans but brings things to complete fruition. Our plans are seldom done in truth and complete faithfulness. Our plans are hectic and often selfish in motive. God, on the other hand is working His plans out to perfection. All that He plans is perfect. His timing with His plans are perfect. His desire for us is perfect and faithful. Rejoice in God's planning and perfection. Isaiah gives us much in his book. He tells us much about what will happen to the world around us. However, the most important aspect of Isaiah's message is his introducing us to the character of God. As we finish this very long book we can get lost in the nuts and bolts of Isaiah's prophecy. We ought to rejoice in what we discover about God's character and actions in our lives.
