Isaiah 19:18-25
The Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians. Yes, they will know the Lord and will give their
sacrifices and offerings to Him. They will make a vow to the Lord and will keep it.
Isaiah 19:21-22

Although, God will punish Egypt, Assyria and Israel yet, He has a good plan in place. He will restore them and
bless them. That is our God for you. There is no other God like Him. When the devil punishes and deals with you, you are finished. There is no good in him. But our God punishes to get our attention and help us to return to Him.

The first part of this chapter presents the case for their punishment. While the second part reveals God’s plan of
blessing for them. Their response to Him will indicate their decision to come back to Him and worship Him. They will bring Him their offerings and sacrifices.

To confirm this, the prophet Isaiah writes, “The Lord will strike Egypt, and then he will bring healing. For the Egyptians will turn to the Lord, and he will listen to their pleas and heal them” (Isaiah 19:22, NLT). That is the pattern we see in the Scriptures always.

Friend, I choose to be on the Lord’s side. He will restore us when we return to Him. No other God can save, deliver, heal and restore like our God. Do not allow the inaction of others to hinder your decision to serve God. Those you think are evil today may repent and be reconciled with God. What will be your portion then? Think on these things. Shalom.

Your Turn

• What will you do with your life and the decision to follow God? What is your response to God and His
  restoration plan for you?
• Pray for yourself as you have been ministered to.
