"You will give us prosperity, Lord! Everything that we achieve is the result of what you do." (Isaiah 26:12 GNT)
- A promise-claim by Isaiah the prophet for the nation of Israel.
- A promise-claim of peace. The word "prosperity" is the hebrew word "shalom" which means peace, completeness, soundness, welfare.
- I like the use of the word "Everything" because it indicates Isaiah's admission that all of life's achievements come from God and we don't have a single contribution.
- This goes against the tide of "self-made man" philosophy that is prevalent in modern times.
