Isaiah 9: God's zeal

^{Isaiah 9:7} Of the greatness of His government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty
will accomplish this.

This one verse is thick with important stuff about Jesus. The overall tone, ending this section of Isaiah's prophecy about his coming Messiah, of greatness, peace, justice and righteousness is summed up in the fact that God's zeal will accomplish it. Notice it is not human zeal to make it happen, but God who is most committed and able to make His plans happen. Whats cool is that in the case of the Messiah, and I believe with God in general, we don't have to worry about not being able to accomplish something God wants to have happen-as He is eternally more committed to having His will be done than we are. That is such a relief because then we don't have to worry about the things God has called us into, we can rest in the fact that God's zeal for where He has called us to will accomplish it.
