Comforting Or Invasive?

Reading:  Isaiah 35, 36, 37
My Verse:  37:26  "   have you not heard that I purposed to do it long go, that I planned it in ancient times?"
&   verse 37:28  "I know your sitting down and your going out and your coming in and your raging against Me."

All leaders of the world beware!  You are not in your position because of your own strength - only because God allows it.  In His own words, "I have planned it in ancient times."  Poor boastful, arrogant Sennacherib - how he did fall!  And this is repeated so oft throughout our history. 

I can be comforted by this or perturbed.  I know there was  a time when I did fret because I worried a bit more about my 'free will'.  Because we live within the parameters of 'time' this concept is difficult for us to grasp - and it comes up so often. 

Does God actually 'change' His mind?  In looking at the story of Abraham and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah where You, God actually tell Abraham what you are going to do then take his appeal into consideration.   Then the story of King Hezehiah where you give him more years to live after he cried out to you.  Yet, You are Soveriegn and omniscient.

Oh, Lord, all I know is that You love us and being omniscient - You know what is best for each of us.  That I can trust in and hang onto.  I don't need to understand all.  By trusting You, verse 28 becomes comforting instead of invasive.  Thank you for bringing me along so that I can see comfort here.

Ditat Deus - God Enriches!
