Have you ever wondered, If God is in control, why does life feel so out of control?

In this meditation, we’ll explore the comforting truth of God’s sovereignty through Isaiah 46:9-11. This passage was spoken to God's people during a time of exile and uncertainty. Just as it reassured them, it reminds us today: even when life feels chaotic, God is still in control. His plans always prevail.

As you listen, you’ll be guided to reflect on God’s sovereignty over all things and remember how He has worked in your life before. We’ll also explore how He’s inviting you to trust His good plans today.

Whether you’re waiting for God’s plans to unfold or simply need a reminder that He is still in control, this meditation will help you pause, reflect, and rest in the truth: God’s good and sovereign plan will come to pass.

Scripture: Isaiah 46:9-11, NLT

9 Remember the things I have done in the past.

For I alone am God!

I am God, and there is none like me.

10 Only I can tell you the future

before it even happens.

Everything I plan will come to pass,

for I do whatever I wish.

11 I will call a swift bird of prey from the east—

a leader from a distant land to come and do my bidding.

I have said what I would do,

and I will do it.

Have you ever experienced unexpected kindness when you needed it most?

I’ll never forget the day a stranger stepped in to buy breakfast for my daughters and me when I didn’t have cash. Her compassion met our immediate needs and left a lasting impression on my heart.

Compassion always moves to action, and this is the very nature of our God.

Psalm 145:8-9, 14-18 gives us a beautiful glimpse into God’s compassionate character. It reminds us that:

• God helps the fallen.
• He lifts those burdened under heavy loads.
• He is near to all who call on Him in truth.

In this episode, we’ll meditate on these verses and reflect on how we’ve experienced God’s compassion in our lives. Together, we’ll:

• Thank God for His compassionate help in the past.
• Share with Him where we need His compassion today.
• Ask Him to shape us into people who reflect His compassionate heart.

Take a moment to pause, reflect, and rest in the truth that God is full of compassion and ready to help you.

8 The Lord is merciful and compassionate,

slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

9 The Lord is good to everyone.

He showers compassion on all his creation.

14 The Lord helps the fallen

and lifts those bent beneath their loads.

you give them their food as they need it.

16 When you open your hand,

you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.

17 The Lord is righteous in everything he does;

he is filled with kindness.

18 The Lord is close to all who call on him,

yes, to all who call on him in truth.

What would it be like to stand in the presence of God’s holiness? Would you feel welcomed—or fear being obliterated by His glory?

In this Scripture Meditation, we’ll explore Isaiah’s breathtaking vision of God’s holiness in Isaiah 6. It’s a scene of unmatched majesty—God seated on a lofty throne, the train of His robe filling the temple, and angelic beings declaring, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies!”

Isaiah’s response reflects what many of us might feel: an awareness of our sin in the presence of a perfect and holy God. But instead of condemning Isaiah, God showed him grace. A burning coal touched Isaiah’s lips, and his sin was completely removed.

Through Jesus, we, too, are forgiven and welcomed into God’s holy presence. And just as Isaiah responded to God’s holiness with worship and obedience, we are invited to step boldly into God’s plans for us.

In this meditation, you’ll be invited to:

• Imagine yourself in this heavenly scene, joining the angels in worship.
• Reflect on how God’s holiness shapes your view of Him and your life.
• Respond to God’s invitation to live with greater reverence for His holiness.

As you meditate on God’s holiness, may you be filled with awe, drawn closer to His heart, and inspired to say as Isaiah did, “Here I am, Lord. Send me.”

The entire meditation text is as follows:

Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-4, NLT

It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. 2 Attending him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3 They were calling out to each other,

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies!

The whole earth is filled with his glory!”

4 Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke.
