Isaiah Chapter 14

Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand.

In a chapter that speaks of God’s ultimate victory over Israel’s and His enemies, verse 24 stands out as a beacon. Even when the world seems to be spinning out of control and sometimes our lives can feel that way as well, the victory will be God’s. He has a plan and nothing will thwart it. God is not up in heaven wringing his hands and wondering how to get things back on track. He is not taken by surprise by world events or events in our lives. As He has purposed, so it will stand.

Yep strong verse isn't it? I've been reading NRSV this week and its version of v24 is 'As I have designed so shall it be' - makes me think architectural drawings - a blue-print.
