Isaiah 25:1
O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago.
Sometimes life feels chaotic, like a storm tossing us from one wave to the next. But Isaiah reminds us that God is never reacting in panic; He is unfolding a beautiful, ancient plan of redemption. Before your storms even gathered, His grace was already in motion.
Take a moment to look back at your own personal history. Can you see the marvelous, unexpected ways He has provided? His works are never ordinary; they are filled with power, deep mercy, and profound surprises.
Praise is not always a spontaneous feeling that bubbles up when things go perfectly. Often, your praise is a choice that did not depend on happy circumstances. It is a deliberate decision to look at the who God is! We remember His faithful character, and declare, “You are my God.”
