480. Jehovah’s “I Will’s” in Isaiah 49

1. Glorified. “I will be glorified” (Isa_49:3). God’s glory is always the goal of our good.

2. Identified. “I will also give thee for a light” (Isa_49:6). God’s in-fillings make us one with Him and for Him, for His in-fillings are for out-flowings.

3. Preserved. “I will preserve thee” (Isa_49:8). God’s preservation is the cause of our perseverance.

4. Blessing. “I will make all My mountains a way” (Isa_49:11). One such mountain is Mount Calvary. It is a way to all blessing.

5. Power—Isa_49:22. “I will lift up Mine hand,” etc. The hand of God is a symbol of His power. His liftings up are always leaders to lasting peace.

6. Victory—Isa_49:25. “I will contend with him,” etc. Those who stand in the way of the believer’s progress are targets for God’s prowess.

7. Promise—Isa_49:25. “I will save thy children.” The Lord’s promise extends to the household of the child of God. Being His children, He promises to bless our children.

8. Judgment—Isa_49:26. “I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh.” The sinner reaps in kind what he is.
