“I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places” – Isaiah 45:3
God chose Cyrus, a heathen king to conquer nations. He was on a special assignment by God to accomplish His purpose in delivering the people of Israel. In this verse, God is promising Cyrus that He will go before him to clear out all the challenges ahead of Him and will bless him with hidden treasures and riches so that he may know that it is God who called him by name.
Our God is a sovereign God. He removes kings and sets up kings, in order to accomplish His purpose. As children of God, we should learn to accept His will and work with Him to accomplish His will in our lives, so that we can experience the divine blessings of God. Though we face obstacles, if we are following God’s plan for our lives, we can trust Him to clear the way for us.
