Our Ready, Rested Power

The people of God were living in captivity.
They had been taken from their homes.
No longer free.
No longer their own.

And God was ready to destroy their captors.
He spoke of His plans to Isaiah.
He calmly sat in the heavens.
Quietly looking out from His  place.

But just because God is quiet
does not mean He has no plan.

For our God is ready, rested and powerful.
And His plans have been established.
His work has already begun.

So that those who oppose Him
can no longer stand against Him.

So that those who worship Him
will remain standing in the end.

Let us not lose hope.
Let us not give up.

For the Lord is with us
wherever we go!

He is our ever Ready, Rested Power!
