I was reminded today of something our Pastor Robert Peralta said, and it really hit home as we have been praying so hard for our friend, Andrew Swift.
It went something like this:
"The king’s train was actually made up of pieces or swatches of the royal robes of defeated kings. The conquering king would have portions of the defeated kings robe cut and sown into his own robe as a symbol and testimony of the conqueror’s strength and power. Isaiah looked at the train on God's robe and there were so many conquests until His robe, "filled the temple." Symbolizing He had defeated every enemy".
When Isaiah saw the Lord high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple, he was seeing a mighty king who has never, ever lost a battle!! I was reminded again today that the Lord never has and never will lose a battle. Forever, He has the victory!!
Does that mean we will always understand the struggles? No, because His ways are higher than our ways. But when we put our faith and our trust in the One that never loses a battle, we can rest in knowing He will work all things for our good. ❤
