Isaiah 51
Many saints today feel these words spoken by Isaiah -
"Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
10 Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?" (Old Testament | Isaiah 51:9 - 10)
In other words, in little patience we are frustrated with the wickedness of the world and want the Lord to demonstrate His biblical anger. But to the righteous saints, the Lord reminds -
"Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
12 I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass..." (Old Testament | Isaiah 51:11 - 12)
Therefore -
"Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation." (Old Testament | Isaiah 51:7 - 8)
In other words, don't worry about it. He will take care of all things in His own way and time.
