‏ Isaiah 26:12

Goodness of God to Israel; Israel Corrected for Sin; Prospects of the Church

In these verses, the prophet looks back at God’s work in the lives of His people, both in giving blessings and in sending correction. He remembers how God has helped Israel, but also how sin led to trouble and suffering. Still, there is hope for the future, as God promises peace and restoration for His people. The passage teaches us to give God the glory for every good thing, to turn to Him when in trouble, and to trust His power to revive and restore.

v. 12: The prophet praises God, saying, Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us . Every good thing done by God’s people is really God’s work in them. All their success and blessings come from Him. God is the one who gives peace and brings about everything needed for His people.
