"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} (NIV 1984)
Idols are a burden on the people who carry them; they stoop down together, but the LORD carries His people, sustains and rescues them. As Isaiah compares God to humans and to other gods, this verse sets the LORD above all humans and all other gods. It seems that some can perhaps speak of the future before it comes about, perhaps. But no one can claim to make known the end from the beginning!
All of the people, the rulers, the nations, the armies and the schemes and cunning of the forces of evil, do not affect God in any way. He has declared the end from the beginning. We can read this declaration for ourselves. If we would read the Bible from start to finish, it tells the whole story. We could know this declaration in our lives, if we would surrender and seek His will each day. Who can say something like this? The LORD (I AM) who is truly God, not something created by the imagination of people, but the One who created all people. Not a natural phenomenon that has been misunderstood, but the One who created nature.
Friend, we can trust Him. Trust Him with our eternity, trust Him with our life and trust Him with this day.
