And weigh silver on the scales;
They hire a bgoldsmith, and he makes it a god;
They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship.
And set it in its place, and it stands;
From its place it shall not move.
Though bone cries out to it, yet it cannot answer
Nor save him out of his trouble.
For I am God, and bthere is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, b‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
The man bwho executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed cI have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Isaiah 46:8:
Isaiah 46:8-10
Brethren, what we have in these three verses is a general principle in which God challenges us to consider, to compare, all of the material idols, which are so easily seen, to Him.
Remember is a very important word to a true, spiritual religion. Remember that God's counsel stands. When He says something, it is so. It happens. God gives plenty of evidence to demonstrate that He can be trusted. Being able to see God and have faith is the result of seeing the evidence by which God demonstrated both Himself and His purpose in the former things.
Isaiah 46:9 says, Remember the former things. That is what David did. That is what Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego did. They remembered the former things. God demonstrated Himself in the former things - not only Himself, but also His purpose. We have to remember. But, brethren, it is really reinforced and built through obedience to His counsel in the present and seeing from one's own experience that it truly does stand. And then, one can see God!
