God Has Your Back!
“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 s
ervants of the Lord, and their righteousness is
from Me,” says the Lord.
Isaiah 54: 17
Isaiah 53 is one of the most theologically important chapters in
Old Testament. It contains the portrait of the Servant of the Lord,
the coming Messiah who would suffer on behalf of His people.
The Servant, revealed eventually as Jesus Christ, saw that
many would be opposed to Him (Isaiah 50:8-9). Yet He also
saw that He would be vindicated by God: “Surely the Lord
God will help Me” (verse 9).
Interestingly, after the Servant’s presentation in Isaiah 53, He
is never referred to again in the singular. Rather, it is His “seed”
(Isaiah 53:10), His spiritual offspring, who take center stage.
It is “the heritage of the servants of the Lord” that “no weapon
formed against [them] shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17). God’s purposes
for His people will never be resisted or cancelled (Isaiah 55:10-11).
If God has called you for a purpose, know this: Nothing
will prosper against you and God’s purpose for your life.
Neither the Servant, nor His servants, can be defeated.
"The work which His goodness began,
the arm of His strength will complete."
