Read Isa. 41:21-29
God is challenging the nations of the world to use their idols to predict the future. When they fail and their predictions don't come true they will realize that their pagan gods are worthless. But God is true and he knows the future because he wrote it. God raised up Cyrus from the north to trample Israel's enemies like the potter trampling clay. No one but God has declared this. Their idols were not able to predict this because they were nothing and their works were vanity. God knew that one day Jerusalem would be the place where Jesus would bring the good news of the gospel. Isaiah prophesied Jesus coming more than any other prophet and all his prophecies came true. God is not slow concerning his promises but has the future all mapped out in his perfect timing.
Lord, help us to wait on you and your goodness. Let us not turn to the world for answers because only you hold the future.
