Isa. 63:15

15 Look down [nabat] from heaven [shamayim], and behold [ra'ah] from the habitation [zabuwl] of thy holiness [qodesh] and of thy glory [tiph'arah]: where is thy zeal [qin'ah] and thy strength [gabuwrah], the sounding [hamown] of thy bowels [me`ah] and of thy mercies [racham] toward me? are they restrained ['aphaq]? KJV-Interlinear

15 Look down from heaven, and see from Thy holy and glorious habitation; Where are Thy zeal and Thy mighty deeds? The stirrings of Thy heart and Thy compassion are restrained toward me. NASB

The prayer of those who will be delivered, comes not from their own invention, but from the words that Isaiah recorded here.

God gives us all words to form our prayers, so that, in times of great pressure, if we have been diligent in our studies and have memorized various verses along the way, we will have the words to pray to God.

These words will be memorized specifically or in general. They will ask God to remember them in their plight. Great atrocities and miseries will overwhelm the remnant of the Tribulation.

But, with their misery comes Gods promises. They have these promises to lean on, and on those promises they will base their prayers.

Surrounded by the powers of the world, which powers that believe that they are the ultimate authority, those believers will look to an even higher power, and a higher authority.

To God in His heaven, where heaven is infinitely higher than anything on this earth. To God on His throne, the seat of authority which literally controls all activities in the universe. No one on this earth can control even the common cold, let alone the universe. With God looking down from His position of authority, God can see all things happening on the earth, and man cannot even see beyond his own nose.

This remnant of the Tribulation will call to God, knowing that God controls history and that God will see their plight and hear their call for help. They will call to God, with this pre-prepared prayer. Prepared by God in eternity past, and written by Isaiah over two-thousand years ago.

Jesus Christ controls history. Christ knows the history of humanity in its complete detail. He knows every beat of your heart and He knows every heart that will beat in all of history.

God knows the outcome and the repercussions of this recent conflict in southern Lebanon. We can speculate for now, and then know after years have passed by, what impact this conflict will have on history. We can only look back on history to see the patterns of human activities. God looks forward and sees every thought, every action, and He saw all of history in eternity past.

He knows that there will be a Tribulation, and He knows intimately, each and every person whom He will deliver in the Tribulation.

God knows your plights as well. He knows your life better than you do. Your best bet in life is to get with a daily study program, and then you will be able to live your life as God intends you to live it.

Whether you will face events of great drama, or whether you will face just a ho hum life, you probably will not know. But rest assured, if you advance in your spiritual life to maturity, then you will be ready and able to cope with anything that will come along.

Jesus Christ controls history. You are in safe hands. The Holy Spirit controls the situations and the environment of your life. You are in safe hands. The Father elected a plan which details out every little detail of your life. You are in safe hands.

You are safe, if, and I repeat, if, you pursue your spiritual life. If you ignore all of this Bible stuff, then you have elected to jump out of those safe hands and into the quicksand of the jungle.

Why would anyone be that stupid?

Now is the time to post a prayer.
