Really quick today. One verse. Lots of must realize and behave accordingly.
Lord Jesus, thank You for these words. Thank You for the assurance that You are eternal and You are in control. Reveal this to us and help us act accordingly. All for your glory.
4 “Who has performed and done this,
Calling forth [and guiding the destinies of] the generations [of the nations] from the beginning?
‘I, the Lord—the first, and with the last [existing before history began, the ever-present, unchanging God]—I am He.’”
He guides the destinies of everyone, everyone who might call on Him. This chapter talks about Cyrus the Great, the Persian who conquered lots of the kingdoms north of Babylon and in doing so freed the Israelites. The prophecy was given about a hundred and fifty years before it took place.
Behave Accoringly
It is the Lord who calls. God who Reigns. God who is Eternal and Omnipotent and Ever-Present. Our Lord God is the Almighty One. It is He that you should focus your mind upon. Because it is He who is closer than your next breath.
Revelation 1:18 – Amplified Bible
“I am the Alpha and the Omega [the Beginning and the End],” says the Lord God, “Who is [existing forever] and Who was [continually existing in the past] and Who is to come, the Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all].”
Because He is all of that, there is not a day in your life you can’t talk to Him, be comforted and guided by Him, count on Him. Praise Him. Glorify Him.
