Isaiah 49:8. “Thus saith the Lord, ‘In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages.’”
PRESERVATION. A plan unfolds – the Promise the Lord has made will never fail. Redemption of the nation will not come with ease – Changes showing evidence of repentance that is real Will have to be heard by God – repentance that really means All will know there is a return back to what God wants – Then the Lord who hears what is said and what is really meant – Moves heaven and earth to bring results – He who helps Has in mind to restore and preserve what was His first intent.
He is not done – the plan includes suffering – and sacrifice To fulfill the ultimate purposes God Himself guides Those He cares intensely for – it is His will alone that will suffice, To give reasons why the Israeli Road requires so many lives – Until the day will come when those survivors see a throne Established and the heritage long promised and preserved. Rule is established in the nation by Him whose right it is alone To take David’s long promised kingdom that He deserved.
Here and now in this paragraph of grace in which I live, The Lord hears and helps and guides His blood-bought Church – Preserving her for Himself – His heart-throb for which His life He gave
That now and through ages yet to unfold before us – a love such As never has nor will be seen the more – for His bride He gave His all – Preserves it now by constant attention and personal intercession – I too, experience the preserving hand of God outstretched lest I fall And preserves me – saved from sin and hell, for heaven, a full salvation.
“How thankful and secure I know I am, O God, who preserved the nation of Israel all these thousands of years. A nation has survived unspeakable atrocities. If You can preserve them, I know I am preserved and kept from everything that would overcome me apart from Your sovereign will allowing it. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
