Today's Passage: Isaiah 47-49

These chapters are right in the middle of the Messianic prophecies found in Isaiah.  In fact while reading you might have noticed the transition from chapter 48 to chapter 49 in which Isaiah finishes describing the act of Israel's deliverance and begins his description of the one that will be preforming the deliverance, the Messiah, Jesus.

All three of these chapters are filled with powerful scripture but the verses that I was lead to focus on today are 49:22-26.  These verses to me sound like a hero's monologue.  They are filled with promises from God of how He will over come what we think is impossible, and become our redeemer and savior.  We, knowing the sacrifice that Jesus made understand this better then the people of Isaiah's day, but God doing the "impossible" is a key part of our Christian walk today.

We all face uncertainty on a fairly frequent basis.  Our reaction to this uncertainty should be rooted in our trust and obedience to God.  God has proven Himself time and time again that He will not leave us.  That fills me with more excitement than any hero's monologue in a big budget movie.  In this I am reminded of the lyrics from a popular worship song:
