Isaiah 46
-The contrast between Babylon’s
false idols and the One-True God is postulated in this powerful chapter of
Scripture. Graven images are just burdensome and have no value in comparison to
the Maker of the Universe. God is the only Rescuer. He is always the same
(immutable). He will carry His people, bear them, and deliver them. There is no
one like the LORD. The idols cannot answer, and they certainly cannot deliver.
Be assured and remember that God is the way, the truth, and the life (John
14:6). He declares the end from the beginning (omniscient), and His purpose
will be established without anyone to stand in the way of its completion, all
in God’s good pleasure. His call is irrevocable, even from a far country (reference
to Cyrus again). The stubborn-minded who are far from righteousness would do
well to listen because the LORD is bringing His righteousness, and it is not
far off. His salvation will not delay coming to Zion (the coming of Messiah
Jesus), which will make Israel His glory (Isaiah 46:1-13). *Application* Let
nothing stand in the way of your relationship with the LORD. He is great and
His wisdom is what we need for successful life. Don’t trust in anything else.
God, in three persons (the Trinity), is the end all, be all.
Verse to Memorize: Isaiah 46:4
