I love Isaiah and truly I wish that I had all day to ponder, search, and study the mutiple meanings of his words.
This sings true to my feelings.
Those who do not understand the power of God will seek for safety in other groups, peoples or governments. If you know God, you would know that He is the only one that we need to trust in. Those who do trust in Him do not worry upon the matters of the world. Do not be afraid of the things that the world is afraid of, but fear that you are not pleasing your God. If you fear that you are not pleasing Him- then you will be safe, but if you do not care how He feels about you then He will become the thing that hurts you. The stumbling stone. He will take care for those whom He has made promises to do so, and those whom love Him.
2 Nephi 18:12,13,14 - Isaiah 8
Say ye not, A confederacy, to all to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. 13 Sanctify the Lord of Hosts himself, and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
I desire more than anything to be a profitable servant unto Him. To make His heart to rejoice and to be a instrument to Him in His work to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.
I say this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
