Thoughts on what God tells us in Isaiah 14 and a dream from Edward Carr. Does God have a plan for the world? Does God have a plan for my life? Thoughts on what God tells us in Isaiah 14 and a dream from Edward Carr. Do you wonder whether God has a plan in mind for the world, or whether He has any concern of direction over the intricate details of your life?

Listen with me as we look at some verses in Isaiah 14 (an Old Testament book of the Bible), which tell us about God having purpose for the world.

As part of these thoughts an extract from a remarkable dream by a 19th century minister is included.

Perhaps you started off the year or a new project with great enthusiasm, believing you were following the Lord in what you were doing, but now you are filled with self-doubt, procrastination or even want to give up.

Join us at Precious Thoughts where we delve into a Bible verse of encouragement from many years ago, and consider its application to us today.
