A memory shared by many is that of a child picking a dandelion and blowing the gray fluffy seeds into the wind. With a single breath all the seeds are scattered. The stem is left barren as though the seeds never existed.
He brings the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth useless. Scarcely shall they be planted, scarcely shall they be sown, scarcely shall their stock take root in the earth, when He will also blow on them, and they will wither, and the whirlwind will take them away like stubble. Isa 40:23-24
Our GOD has all sovereignty over the earth and all its rulers. Isaiah reminds us that all these princes and judges will come to nothing. It is interesting the word useless in verse 23 is the same word translated without form in Genesis 1:2.
In due time, GOD will blow on them and they will be gone.
All the great leaders of the past. They are all gone. It is as though they never existed. All the leaders of today, both good and bad, will join them. They will all be like the gray fluffy seeds. When GOD’S chosen time is right, they will be gone.
Shouldn’t this make us think? I want to serve the Eternal One.
