July 28, 2016: SOAP #2429: Isaiah 53-56; 2Peter 2

Scripture: Isaiah (NIV) 53:10 Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.

Observation: What a striking prophetic comment about Jesus. “The will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.”   God’s plan for the salvation of man would move forward. Jesus would not shrink back from the suffering and ridicule of those around Him. Salvation’s plan would be in good hands!   And as one reads the gospels, this was proved to be true!

Application: What a worthy goal for my life today: that the will of the LORD will prosper in my hand. He may have something big for me to do, or very small. The size of the project makes no difference. Everyone may see it, or no one may see it. It makes no difference; He sees it!

Prayer:   Holy Spirit, help me to bring joy to my Heavenly Father as His will prospers in my life. Be it one giant step or one baby step, may His purpose for my life move forward today. Amen
