Isaiah 26:10-12

Isaiah 26:10-12. Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.

Troubled saint, what a precious passage this is for thee! Poor, tempest-tossed soul, what a glorious utterance! "Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us." There shall come an ordinance from God, that his people shall have peace: "Thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us;" so they must be good works, but those works which God did not work in us are bad ones.
