Connect Isaiah 41:16 with another scripture about God's protection and deliverance. Isaiah’s Picture of Overwhelming Safety Isaiah 41:16: “You will winnow them, and a wind will carry them away; a gale will scatter them. But you will rejoice in the LORD; you will glory in the Holy One of Israel.” • The enemies of God’s people are reduced to chaff—light, powerless, swept off the threshing floor. • The result is not anxiety but celebration: “you will rejoice… you will glory.” • Deliverance is certain, visible, and decisive. Echoes in Psalm 91: God Shields and Rescues “Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart… Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows My name… I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.” Shared Threads of Protection and Deliverance • Divine Momentum – Isaiah: a “gale” scatters the threat. – Psalm: God Himself “delivers,” “covers,” “protects.” • Total Reversal – Isaiah: what once terrified becomes nothing but dust. – Psalm: traps and disease are rendered harmless. • Celebration After Rescue – Isaiah: “rejoice… glory.” – Psalm: God “honors,” “satisfies,” and shows “salvation.” • Personal Involvement – Isaiah: the LORD acts directly. – Psalm: “I will be with him in trouble.” God’s presence is the guarantee. Living in the Promise Today • See enemies, obstacles, and fears as chaff before God’s wind. • Rest under His wings; His faithfulness still shields like a rampart. • Rejoice now in expectation, knowing deliverance will end in glory. |
