Today: [Isaiah 49] God Brings Glory from Failure. In this chapter we find Isaiah facing the failure of his perceived destiny. He though that he would be used to restore the glory of ancient Israel. He now sees clearly that this will not take place. In the midst of this God speaks to him a word about not just ministering to Israel but seeing all the kingdoms of the earth brought to God through his prophesying. We may face failure and frustration but God works from a perspective much broader than we can ever measure to fulfill his promises and make good on His word in our lives even when it seems all hope is lost.
