—Isaiah 47:1-9
by: Ashea West.
God is a God of justice. He will punish as He sees fit and will show mercy where He sees fit as well. Even though the Israelites were being punished at the hand of the Babylonians for being disobedient, God was angry at how mercilessly the Babylonians treated His children (v. 6). For this reason, the Babylonians were going to be humiliated and destroyed. The Lord Almighty will always defend His name, and there will be no power that is greater than His. Whenever you feel like the enemy is overpowering, remember that your Heavenly Father is a God of justice and He will avenge you.
