June 18, 2026, Isaiah 46:1-13
46 Bel bows down; Nebo
stoops;
their idols are on beasts
and livestock;
these things you carry are borne
as burdens on weary
beasts.
2 They stoop; they bow down together;
they cannot save the
burden,
but themselves go
into captivity.
3 “Listen to me, O house of
Jacob,
all the remnant of the
house of Israel,
who have been borne by me from before your birth,
carried from the womb;
4 even to your old age I am he,
and to gray hairs I will
carry you.
I have made, and I will bear;
I will carry and will
save.
5 “To whom will you liken me
and make me equal,
and compare me, that we
may be alike?
6 Those who lavish gold from the purse,
and weigh out silver in
the scales,
hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
then they fall down and
worship!
7 They lift it to their shoulders, they carry it,
they set it in its place,
and it stands there;
it cannot move from its
place.
If one cries to it, it does not answer
or save him from his
trouble.
8 “Remember this and stand
firm,
recall it to
mind, you transgressors,
9 remember the former things of old;
for I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is
none like me,
10 declaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times
things not yet done,
saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
and I will accomplish all
my purpose,’
11 calling a bird of prey from the east,
the man of my counsel from
a far country.
I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;
I have purposed, and I
will do it.
12 “Listen to me, you
stubborn of heart,
you who are far from
righteousness:
13 I bring near my righteousness; it is not far off,
and my salvation will not
delay;
I will put salvation in Zion,
for Israel my glory.”
As we look at God’s work on earth, how confident are you that He will complete what He has started?
From where does your confidence manifest itself?
How willing are you to get busy doing God’s work daily?
Are you joining Him in His work daily?
