ISAIAH 26
Key Verse: V4 “Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:”
Although the prophet Isaiah wrote this wonderful passage that we can have perfect peace and everlasting strength during the time of Millennium, we can actually experience these promises right now if we fully trust in God and live for Him today.
1. Trust God any time
V3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.”
V9 “With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.”
In this troubled time, we can never trust money and investment, as both will fail us. In this wicked time, we can never trust man, not even our best friends or loved ones as they may fail us. But thanks be to God we can trust Him any time as He shall never fail us. God shall give us perfect peace in the early hours and in the late nights and all the time because He is our everlasting strength and peace.
2. Trust God anywhere
V15 “Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.”
Where ever we are, even as far as to the ends of the earth, God is with us as He is omnipresent, everywhere! Trust God anywhere, in the darkest place, in the most remote area, in the most feared nation as He shall never forsake us.
3. Trust God forever
V4 “Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:”
God is with us forever whether in life or in death. We can fully trust God even in death because the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.
V19 “Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.”
Let us sing praises to God and trust Him as we shall live forever!

How you Live for God is How much you Trust Him.
