Jan 5

“…Like … the young lion roaring on his prey, …. he will not be afraid of their voice,…” Isaiah 31:4

The prophet describes the Lord’s action as He is intent on carrying out His judgement. Like a young and vigorous lion, unafraid and unconcerned of those who may turn against Him, He will conduct His purpose and carry out His will! God has everything under control and will not be unsettled or hurried by anyone. We may feel there are lapses in His timing, or periods of inactivity where we see little or no results, but God is at work all the while, in His way and His timing. When His purpose is ready to be carried out, there is no power on earth that can distract Him from His objective or detract from His result. There are many voices which cry against the Lord and His Word. Some have great followings and establish movements dedicated to the detraction and removal of God from His rightful place in human consciousness. These all will pass away - like the kings and kingdoms of past eras, that considered themselves potent and yet have faded and vanished away, so too will all those who would reduce and diminish the Almighty, become but distant whispers of the past. They will pass away, but the Lord will endure forever. God remains unconcerned about the voices of man and their statements of grandeur and the challenges they proffer. His judgments will come on fallen and rebellious humanity, who has rejected His love and salvation, even as He has promised. Those who trust in God, trust in He who will not be moved! He is everlasting and His purposes established from eternity. He will keep the faithful from all alarm and show them the path of eternal life.
