MY RIGHT HAND
Text: Isaiah 48
4 August 2024
THE HAND OF GOD
The LORD’s hand is to be greatly appreciated. In this prophetic word God reminded Israel of His mighty right hand at work.
12 “Listen to Me, O Jacob,
And Israel, My called:
I am He, I am the First,
I am also the Last.
13 Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth,
And My right hand has stretched out the heavens;
When I call to them,
They stand up together.
14 “All of you, assemble yourselves, and hear!
Who among them has declared these things?
The Lord loves him;
He shall do His pleasure on Babylon,
And His arm shall be against the Chaldeans.
15 I, even I, have spoken;
Yes, I have called him,
I have brought him, and his way will prosper. Isaiah 48:12-15
