ISAIAH 54:9-13
“”For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; For as I have sworn That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, So have I sworn That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the LORD, who has mercy on you. “O you afflicted one, Tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, And lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of rubies, Your gates of crystal, And all your walls of precious stones. All your children shall be taught by the LORD, And great shall be the peace of your children.
”Isaiah 54:9-13 NKJV

Our Almighty God never breaks His promises, His Laws and plans are perfect and never change, and since they are perfect, why would anyone even want to change that what cannot be bettered.
One may not agree with God’s direction, Laws and instructions, but we believers must accept them because we are called to serve and God is always right.
“There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel—that will stand.”
Proverbs 19:21 NKJV
God made a covenant with Noah that has never and never will be broken (GENESIS 9:8-22).
Likewise, God made a covenant of peace with Israel-His people Jews and Gentiles alike, that the time would come when He would stop pouring out His anger on them, and that includes you my brethren. “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Galatians 3:26-29 NKJV
Today, the Lord is reassuring us, that regardless of our human failures and mistakes, our sinful past, or place of birth, He is in control and we are safe in His hands. ““For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.””
Romans 10:12-13 NKJV
For “In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. “Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.”
Isaiah 54:14-17 NKJV
My brothers and sisters, there has never been such a time such as this; God is moving miracles at a time when businesses are failing, unemployment is growing, our financial systems are crashing, and we are facing pestilence, lawlessness, extreme weather systems, and fear is like never before. But our God is holding all things together as we approach our eternal destiny.
He is reaching out to all who have ears to listen “‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.”
Acts 2:17-20 NKJV
Those days are just around the corner, indeed they are here. Therefore my brethren, stay alert and close to God and be ready.
God is keeping His side of the covenant; His Holy Spirit is your guarantee of salvation (2 CORINTHIANS 1:22; EPHESIANS 1:14), Jesus said, “I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
John 14:18 NKJV
But we believers must keep our side of the covenant too. To do this we must change the way in which we think, that we become more Christ like in our very nature that we come to understand God’s independent will for us.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Romans 12:1-2 NKJV
God’s promises never fail, “But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.”
Romans 13:14 NKJV
Of course we shall make mistakes and slip back from time to time, but God is faithful to those who repent, those who are willing and make every effort to turn from sin toward God. The truth is, when we do our best, God will do the rest.
Otherwise my beloved, our sinful flesh shall take us onto a path of sin and death ( GALATIANS 5:16:26).
We must put our old sinful lifestyles to death, for Jesus said, ““Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
Matthew 24:9-14 NKJV
My beloved, many will be deceived and by their own free will, shall go their own way; but those who endure until the end shall be saved.
Therefore, my beloved, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.”
Galatians 6:7-8 NKJV
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
