It’s been on my heart and mind all week, and it’s the promise for which I’m thankful:
“No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper…” Isaiah 54:17
It might disappoint.
It might hurt.
It might burden.
It might wound.
It might even kill.
But it won’t prosper.
It can’t strip me of spiritual blessings. They’re already mine in Christ (Eph. 1:3). It can’t take my inheritance. It’s reserved in heaven, protected by the power of God (1 Peter 1:4). It can’t separate me from the love of God. “Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing” has the power to do that (Romans 8:38-39). It can’t thwart God’s purpose. He “works all things after the counsel of His will” (Eph. 1:11). It can’t take me from my Savior. “I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand” (John 10:28).
“This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord…” Isaiah 54:17 (Amplified Bible)
And it’s mine and yours in Christ.
That’s a reason to not only give thanks, but shout, HALLELUJAH!
What are you thankful for this week?
