Isaiah 18 talks of the destruction of the land of Cush, which we now call Ethiopia.
God has foreseen their plans for conquest and will undermine them, eventually bringing about acts of worship from a people set against Him. To me this once again reassures me of God's hand in our lives. He can foresee what lies ahead, what plans are being made, and if they are against Him then he can turn that around. Nothing is beyond God's power. In the NLT bible translation, verse 5 reads:
Even before you begin your attack, while your plans are ripening like grapes, the Lord will cut you off.
God is always in control. And this is a certainty. Often we may think that we are in control of our own plans, but we must remember that it is God who makes things possible or impossible for us. Not with our strength and planning, but with God's. So in everything we do we must seek God's wisdom and support. For if not, our plans can be undone, just as the Ethiopians were.
