Isaiah 45:19 (NAS)
I
have not spoken in secret, In some dark land; I did not say to the offspring of
Jacob, ‘Seek Me in a waste place’; I, the LORD, speak righteousness Declaring
things that are upright.
Isaiah 45:19 (NIVUS)
I
have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not
said to Jacob’s descendants, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I
declare what is right.
When the Lord Jehovah speaks to you, it is usually something that will build you. He rarely says anything that is destructive. His words arrange situations and circumstances according to His commands and promises. He does not hide His will from you, nor does He keep it secret. It is not disguised or covert. He does not keep you ignorant or in the dark. He does not intend His words to cause you misery or sorrow.
Instead He desires you to rise and abide. He wants to lift you, so that you will endure. He has established and strengthened you for success. He intends your seed to be fruitful. What you conceive will bear; what you sow will yield. You, however, must seek God in worship and prayer. Strive after His will. Ask and request what you require from Adonai. This is not a waste of your time or your words for the Lord your God will not leave you in a worthless and empty place, where there is nothing. You will never seek the Lord in vain.
Adonai has appointed prosperity for you. He has spoken cleansing words over you and these have brought you righteousness. He has boldly announced straightness and evenness to your path. He has declared that your life shall be filled with everything that is right, sweet, and pleasant. His words will manifest goodness for you, for He esteems you highly.
