“Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us.” Isaiah 26:12 (NIV)
The prophet Isaiah wrote and recorded the words which God gave to him. In the verse we read today, he is predicting a day would come when God's people would recognize how much He had done for them. They would acknowledge and profess this truth. This verse expresses a special insight which we all can and need to have. When we realize how much God is involved in our activities we can give Him the credit for the things He is doing in our lives and through us. The words we read in our verse were really a part of God's teaching to His people. God wants us to recognize how much He is doing through us so that we don't give ourselves credit but give Him the glory. Today is a good day to acknowledge the promise that God works in us, and to ask God to reveal to us how much He is doing so we can also declare that whatever we have accomplished, it is God who has done it for us.
