Isaiah 41:11- 42:25

Our God is a God of wonders. His providence has no limits as long as we cry to Him in faith and need. 

It's amazing how the good work of Jesus is already foreshadowed by Isaiah. Jesus will impact the world as a faithful and obedient servant of God. 

Isaiah 42:6
"I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles,

God uses us as His tools to share the Gospel to the unreached. We become a living testimony of the promises of our God who is always faithful to the very end, and keeps these promises in the most unexpected ways. We will be a light reflecting God's love to others who have not experienced it. God created us to be all of this. 

Isaiah 42:16
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them, I will turn the darkness into light before them, and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do, I will not forsake them.

We are blinded by the material things of this world, by anger, by hate, by self-ambition... all of which are fuelled by the devil. We need to allow God to take us out of the darkness and into the marvelous light where the walk is made smoother by the Lord. He will never forsake us, He will not leave us to be consumed by our sin. 

The reminder: We are the covenant and light for God. No matter how blinded we are by Satan, God always creates a smoother path on which we continue our spiritual walk.
