In Isaiah 41.1-20 we learn how to face our enemies, whatever they may be. It starts with silence and then seeing that God is in control of all things. Then we must reject the ways of the world in seeking to survive by our own strength and instead trust in the strength of the Lord who calls us His own. When we place our trust in Him we become the very thing which crushes the enemy and new life awaits.
This prophecy was fulfilled in the life of Jesus--and if it was true for Him facing the greatest enemies of all (our sin and sentence of death) then it is true for us His people.
