Isaiah 48:14-15

When God calls someone to do some task for him, God also helps that person to carry out the task.

The *Lord’s plan for Israel

v16 ‘Come to me. Listen to what I am saying. In the past I did not use words that were unclear. I spoke plainly about events that would happen. At the right moment those events did happen. That was because I was there to make them happen.’

‘And now,’ says Isaiah, ‘the *Lord God has sent me to speak his message by his Spirit.’ v17 This is what the *Lord, your rescuer, the Holy God of Israel, says to you: ‘I am the *Lord, your God. I am your teacher. I teach you how to succeed. I am your guide. I shall guide you in the path by which you should go.’
