Isaiah 25:1
O Lord, You are my God.
I will exalt You,
I will praise Your name,
For You have done wonderful things;
Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

Application:

The prophet Isaiah, contemplating the great and glorious prophecies he had delivered—about the destruction of his enemies, the protection and deliverance of his people, the coming of the Messiah, and the establishment of his own kingdom despite all opposition—pauses the flow of his prophecies and breaks into a solemn celebration of these marvelous works (Isaiah 25:1-12).

Your ancient counsels are faithfulness and truth, from which all your works emerge. These counsels have been revealed to your prophets and people throughout history. Conceived in eternity and made known long ago through your threats and promises, they are true and steadfast; therefore, they will undoubtedly be fulfilled.

Isaiah described how the righteous respond to the announcement of Christ’s future millennial kingdom. The Lord is praised because his judgment on the wicked and salvation for the righteous are part of plans made long ago and carried out with perfect faithfulness (25:1). 

Politicians often make promises, especially during election campaigns. However, these promises are often left unfulfilled. In contrast, the faithful God has never made a promise He will not keep.

Praise be to God!

To God be the glory!

Our Lord Jesus Christ created everything! By Him, For Him!
