I am God, and there is none like me.
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.
From the east I summon a bird of prey;
from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that will I bring about;
what I have planned, that will I do.Isaiah 46:9-11.
We don’t always, or often, understand how or when God will fulfill His purposes. Yet every small detail of His plans is orchestrated as He wills — even down to a single bird or man summoned from far off to accomplish one task. How foolish to think God has forgotten to judge, and how comforting to know God has not forgotten to bless.
