Isaiah 41

Long before Judah was taken into captivity, or even the threat of Babylon was considered God spoke to Isaiah. A ruthless king was coming. He would pounce on Judah and humiliate her. In Isaiah 41:27 God laid it out. It would not happen because of Babylon's power. It would happen because of God's judgment against a faithless population. And yet in all of the chaos God wanted those who were trusting him completely to know this one truth; he was still in control (Isa 41:20). Many believers in Judah must have questioned that truth when the walls of Jerusalem fell. But we can see the evidence of history. God's plan always moves forward. In the midst of chaotic times modern believers need to grapple with the same truth; God is still in control.
