ESTABLISHED

Greetings dear saints of God and any pre-saints who are reading and welcome back to this illuminating Bible Study of the Book of Isaiah. God is so good to give us such a detailed guide for a life of righteousness doing His will by choice. Please take a moment and share this teaching as widely as possible by any and every means available to you. It thrills us to know you value these teachings enough to share. An adequate price cannot be placed on the Truth, that would be like trying to set the value of the Blood of Jesus. Yet many times we treat the Truth and even the Blood as little. The featured picture today is another nice summer day in Maine. I am not sure who provided this beautiful picture, but in any event thank you so much.
Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text in the wonderful Book of Isaiah. Please continue to read out loud.
Isaiah 54:13-17 (ESV)
13 All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children.
14 In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 If anyone stirs up strife, it is not from me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you.
16 Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy;
17 no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their vindication from me, declares the LORD.”
As we saw yesterday, for the fulfilment of verse thirteen, we are to maintain or break forth in joy, make preparation for these children (your vision), allow no fear, and walk in righteousness. To be established in righteousness means that we are in right standing and doing things Gods way. This would be by faith, in love, no doubt, and led of the Holy Spirit. Dear ones we must get beyond the idea that all that’s needed is prayer and then it just happens or perhaps not, you never know. We must have a vision! Can you see it in your imagination? We always, let me emphasis, we always have a part. All things we will need for eternity are ready and available now, the table is set. However, to move the Hand of God to make it a reality we must be in faith (we have a clear vision, very specific), we have the right motivation (love), we have zero doubt, and we are being led step by step by the Holy Spirit. Monday, I presented the following passage and it seems we need it again today.
Habakkuk 2:1-4 (KJV)
1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Let’s be sure we read this very carefully. Notice that the word “just” in Habakkuk 2:4 is the same root word as righteousness in Isaiah 54:14, our primary text.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here next week. Remember the Lord is good, nothing but good, He is not waiting to wreck your life to see if you love Him, and He cannot lie.

2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV)
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
