Topic: God Has Alternative Plans
Text: Isaiah 63:1 – 6
Our memory verse for the day is a clear warning for us not to think
that we worth anything special in the eyes of God especially when He is using
us. We should rather be up and doing because He has alternative plan.
Here, the prophet, in vision, beholds the Messiah returning in
triumph from the conquest of His enemies, of whom Edom was a type. Travelling,
not as wearied by the combat, but, in the greatness of His strength, prepared
to overcome every opposing power. He declares that He had been treading the
wine-press of the wrath of God, (see Revelation 14:19; 19:13) and by His own
power (Isaiah 63:3), without any human help, He had crushed His obstinate
opposers (Isaiah 63:4), for the day of vengeance was determined on, being the
appointed season for rescuing his church.
Once, the Messiah appeared on earth in apparent weakness, to pour
out His precious blood as an atonement for our sins; but He will in due time
appear in the greatness of His strength.
How prepared are we for that day when He will appear in His
strength? Again let us remember that He sought for help but none came. This
shows that there are things God want us to do for Him. What He desires me to do
may not be what He wants you to do. It all depends where we find ourselves. We
shouldn’t disappoint God to make Him resort to His alternative plan. Don’t ever
think that without you the work of God will not go on. He will raise a man in
your stead. Therefore be wise.
Food for Thought: Will God resort to alternative plan in your stead?
Memory verse: Isaiah 63 v 5
Prayer: Lord God, may I not be a disappointment to you that will make you
resort to alternative plan in Jesus name.
