Still Will

 

Hello Christian Friends

I stopped by to tell you that even

When your back is against the wall

With your enemies standing around

Clapping their hands with glee

And waiting for your fall

"It still will, will, will

Be all right!"¹

(Based on Isaiah 41)

 

Look at the words that were penned many years ago for such an occasion as you the one that you are going through now:

Isaiah 41:8-10   New American Standard Bible (NASB)

⁸ “But you, Israel, My servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
Descendant of Abraham My friend,
⁹ You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,
And called from its remotest parts
And said to you, ‘You are My servant,
I have chosen you and not rejected you. (Always bear in mind that we are HIS by adoption. HE chose to allow us to be a part of spiritual Israel.)
¹⁰ ‘Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Not only have we been chosen, but HE reassures us that when our backs are against the wall, and we are hemmed in on every side with no place to go, HE will make a way out of no way. Just look at the verses below. I tell you, folks, I get chills when I think about how HE cut a trail through what was not a walking area before, namely the Red Sea. HE did that for Israel, and we are spiritual Israel. That means that HE will trail-blaze for us too. Finish reading the last two verses below:

Isaiah 41:18-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

¹⁸ “I will open rivers on the bare heights
And springs in the midst of the valleys;
I will make the wilderness a pool of water
And the dry land fountains of water. (This means that HE will put what we need where we need it whether it is normally there or not. Think back on times in your life when you have received favor from someone in power and you could not figure out how or why you. Uhm hmm, don't be surprised, just praise and thank GOD. So, don't worry. You know every now and then HE shows us that HE can and will because HE is able!)
¹⁹ “I will put the cedar in the wilderness,
The acacia and the myrtle and the olive tree;
I will place the juniper in the desert
Together with the box tree and the cypress,
²⁰ That they may see and recognize,
And consider and gain insight as well,
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
And the Holy One of Israel has created it.

Be safe.

 

Walking by faith,
