Isaiah 45:2
Isaiah 45:2
I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
Have you ever seen a mother hen with her chicks when a predator, usually a hawk, is nearby? She does not wait to lose any of her young ones. Instead, she swings into action by calling out to them and protectively covering them under her wings. Her motherly instinct causes her to look out for her chicks and keep them out of harm’s way. As parents, the love we have for our children makes us go all out for them, ensuring that they have all they need to live comfortably. We make certain decisions on their behalf because we want the best for them and to protect them from danger. God, as a loving Father, cares so much about us, and He desires that we lead easy lives. This is why the Bible is filled with promises of His blessings to assure us that He has our best interests at heart. The above verse is one of these many promises - here’s God assuring you that He would go before you and do the impossible. Life is filled with challenges, some of which may seem insurmountable, but the Almighty promises to bring down every obstacle. Since God is omniscient, has foreknowledge of all things, and always looks out for us, we can trust that He will prepare us for the challenges to come and protect us from any harm.
