Read Isaiah 32—33
The LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us. Isaiah 33:22

A university professor posted a sign on his study wall that read, “The future is not what it used to be.” Since the advent of atomic energy, many people wonder if there is any future at all. Albert Einstein said that he never thought about the future because it came soon enough!

In Isaiah 32—35, the prophet invites us to look at future events to see what God has planned for His people and His world. In Isaiah 32:1, he writes about “a king”; but in 33:17, he calls him “the king.” By the time we get to verse 22, He is “our king.” It is not enough to say that Jesus Christ is “a king” or even “the King.” We must confess our faith in Him and say with assurance that He is “our King.”

In contrast to the evil rulers of Isaiah’s day, Messiah will reign in righteousness and justice. Isaiah ministered to spiritually blind, deaf, and ignorant people; but in the kingdom, all will see and hear God’s truth as well as understand and obey it.

Right this minute, what are some of your worries about the future? If you really trust God, why do you think you are still worried?
