Isaiah 26

God promises to keep his faithful people completely safe (Isa 26:3). Yet do we see God fulfilling his promise? Was Daniel guilty of idolatry? I don't think so, but he shared in the exile along with the sinful of Judah. Have not millions of believers over the centuries stood by their God only to loose their lives? How is that keeping them safe? I think clarity comes when we understand God's desire to give his people a permanent inheritance. Not one tainted by sin, but access to his untarnishable nature. So we see that even if his grace began at the cross its impact touched creation from the beginning until the end. That is the safety that we need most of all.
