“Take counsel together, and it shall be defeated: speak a word, and it shall not be done: because God is with us.”
Reflection for Today
Let Isaiah 8:10 speak first, before our plans and worries do: “Take counsel together, and it shall be defeated: speak a word, and it shall not be done: because God is with us.”
In Isaiah, the prophetic word unsettles comfort and awakens hope. God loves His people enough to call them back, and enough to promise a future. A single verse can meet us differently depending on the season we are in: grief, gratitude, fatigue, or new beginnings.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of Isaiah 8:10 remain. Write one sentence of response in a notebook or phone note: what you hear God asking, promising, or healing. Then do one small act that matches that sentence.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, Word made flesh, You still teach Your disciples through Sacred Scripture. Through Isaiah 8:10, let “Take counsel together, and it shall be defeated: speak a word, and it shall not be…” become more than a memory. Make it light for my work, patience for my home, and courage for my vocation. Amen.
