Isaiah 10:26 Summary
[This verse, Isaiah 10:26, tells us that God will use His power to defend His people against their enemies, just like He did in the past when He parted the Red Sea in Exodus 14:13-31 and defeated the Midianites in Judges 7:25. He will use His staff, or His authority, to deliver them from harm. This is a promise that God will take care of His people and protect them from those who seek to hurt them, as seen in Psalm 23:4. We can trust in God's power and love for us, and know that He will always be with us, as promised in Matthew 28:20.]
