Title: A Done Deal

(S) cripture:
    Isaiah 14:24 (NASB) The LORD of hosts has sworn saying, “Surely, just as I have intended so it has happened, and just as I have planned so it will stand,

(O) bservation:
    In a prophecy against Assyria, Isaiah begins with this declaration. What God plans will happen and what God purposes will last.

(A) pplication:
    Sometimes I forget that God is in control and that His plans and purposes will stand. Now I would never say that God is not in control out loud, but I live that way at times. When I take things into my own hands or choose to live by my own devices, I am taking control and my plans will not stand. Today I will trust and follow God. I know that His plans and purposes last where mine are temporal at best. Today I will trust and follow His purposes and plans. I will walk by faith and not by sight.

(P) rayer:
    Lord, I know that your plans and purposes last so help me to trust and follow them and not my own. Amen
