Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 45
Psalms 33
This is what Yahweh says to his anointed one, Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped as my servant to conquer nations and dethrone their kings. For I will open doors before him and no fortified gate will remain closed. “‘I will march out in front of you and level every obstacle. I will shatter to pieces bronze doors and slice through iron bars. I will give you hidden treasures of darkness and wealth waiting in secret sites so that you recognize me, for it is I, Yahweh, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name!’”
Isaiah 45:1-3 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Trust and obey when you can’t see the way. Just walk with me. Your view is obstructed. The vision is unclear. Just hold My hand and trust Me. This isn’t a time where you will have all of the answers or will be able to see through the fog. This is the fog of war. Just trust Me to guide you forward perfectly.
“I am Yahweh, the only God there is, and you’ll never find another. I will strengthen you for victory, even though you do not intimately know who I am. Yet through you everyone will know who I really am. Those from the rising sun in the east to the west, everyone everywhere will know that I am Yahweh, the one and only God, and there is no other.”
Isaiah 45:5-6 TPT
The sun is coming. The light is coming. The light that pierces through the thick and heavy fog is coming. It’s overhead even now. The enemy thinks he was the one with an advantage in the fog, in the haze. And it did cause some of My little ones to stumble and even fall. But I was not absent in the fog and the haze. I was moving stealthily in ways the enemy could neither see nor perceive. So watch as the bright light of My sun disperses the fog and evaporates the haze. All will be laid bare. All will be laid bare in plain sight for all to see. Isn’t it a wonderful thing? Isn’t it a glorious thing, that the very tools the enemy used to disorient and cloud vision and try to destroy My people are the same tools I used to obscure My great setup for his full exposure? All will be revealed.
“I create light, and I make it dark. I make bliss, and I create adversity. I am Yahweh who does all these things.”
Isaiah 45:7 TPT
All will be revealed. Don’t forget I Am the Lord even of the chaos. And I Am the Lord who brings both peace and calamity. A great calamity is coming for the wicked, and as the fog of war and the haze of war is cleared by My bright penetrating light, it will all be revealed. It’s time to celebrate. The revealing is here.
How to Respond
- Trust the Lord. Obey Him fully, and prepare your heart to celebrate.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You that You never leave me to figure out the way forward on my own. Thank You for guiding me, for protecting me and for keeping me on Your path through the fog and haze of war. Thank You for causing Your bright light to shine down on us and break up the fog and haze that has enveloped us. Thank You that all will be revealed by the penetrating light of truth.
- Declare, With his breath he scatters the schemes of nations who oppose him; they will never succeed. His destiny-plan for the earth stands sure. His forever-plan remains in place and will never fail. Blessed and prosperous is that nation who has God as their Lord! They will be the people he has chosen for his own.
Psalms 33:10-12 TPT - Decree, Great is the faithfulness of the Lord. He has never left us nor forsaken us. He has walked us through the fog of war, and He used the fog and haze for His purposes. Now His penetrating light of truth is clearing out the fog and haze, and all that has been hidden by the chaos and confusion will be revealed in broad daylight for all to see.
