Today’s Word; I Am He Who Will Sustain You
I have made you & I Will Carry You

Isaiah 46

Gods of Babylon

46 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops low;
their idols are borne by beasts of burden.

The images that are carried about are burdensome,
a burden for the weary.

2 They stoop and bow down together;
unable to rescue the burden, they themselves go off into captivity.

3 “Listen to me, you descendants of Jacob, all the remnant of the people of Israel,
you whom I have upheld since your birth, and have carried since you were born.

4 Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

5 “With whom will you compare me or count me equal?
To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?

6 Some pour out gold from their bags
and weigh out silver on the scales;
they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god, and they bow down and worship it.

7 They lift it to their shoulders and carry it; they set it up in its place, and there it stands.
From that spot it cannot move.
Even though someone cries out to it, it cannot answer; it cannot save them from their troubles.

8 “Remember this, keep it in mind,
take it to heart, you rebels.

9 Remember the former things, those of long ago I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.

10 I make known the end from the beginning from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’

11 From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that I will bring about; what I have planned, that I will do.
