Isaiah 46



 "I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please."
{Isaiah 46:10}  (NIV1984

The Sovereign LORD! The One who was and is and is to come. The God who holds time in His hand. He spoke and everything that is was formed out of nothing. He speaks and history unfolds. He alone is the Ruler of heaven and earth. There is no power, no authority, nothing that can thwart His purpose. The LORD has a purpose in all that happens. He works all things for His purpose and pleasure. The LORD is God, the only true God. 

This passage is one of the most beautiful descriptions of our Sovereign LORD. He makes known the end from the beginning, in the sense that He thinks it and speaks it and so it happens. But also in the most gracious of all acts of our God, He makes it known to us. In the Word of God we have the revelation of the beginning to the end. We have the revelation from ancient times to what is still to come. He is not a God who will not share His plans and purpose. No! The LORD is a God who graciously reveals for us the truth of the purpose and history of this earth, angels, humans and animals. These things are revealed to us, so that we might believe that He is the only true God. 

Friend, praise His Name this day. Worship Him and Him alone. Serve Him and Him alone for He alone is worthy!
