Forever Trust

Isaiah 26 cont’d:

“Trust in the Lord forever, For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock. For He has brought low those who dwell on high, the unassailable city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust. The foot will trample it, The feet of the afflicted, the steps of the helpless.”

This part of the song is a direct imperative to those who are singing it – to trust in the Lord…not just now…but forever.

Why?

It’s because He is an everlasting ROCK, not like anything else in which we place our trust. 

He brings down those things that are unassailable (those things that we are unable to defeat) and casts them off, trampled and beaten. 

This speaks again to our trust being in His power, his actions, and his ways.

We can build protective walls, and we can fight off attacks with all our might, and we can even try to move forward in our own strength against our enemies….

But even our best attempts will fail, because they are shifting and unsecure.

Say to your soul, “Trust in the Lord,” then say it aloud until you feel it.
