Isaiah 40 (NIV)

Comfort for God’s People
1 Comfort, comfort my people,
says your God.
2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and proclaim to her
that her hard service has been completed,
that her sin has been paid for,
that she has received from the Lord’s hand
double for all her sins.
3 A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness prepare
the way for the Lord
make straight in the desert
a highway for our God...........Continue Reading

  1. As we enter this last section of Isaiah and shift into words of blessings instead of judgement I was blessed to start a Monday morning hearing these words. Trying to grasp the magnitude of God and the fact that He cares about the least of us….I loved the visual picture of us as grasshoppers at His feet sitting above the earth. He is so awesome and mighty, the creator of everything! He has created amazing things, things that we struggle to wrap our heads around and still He watches over us with tender mercy.
    11He tends his flock like a shepherd:
    He gathers the lambs in his arms
    and carries them close to his heart;
    he gently leads those that have young.

  2. Love this. The everlasting God, creator of the ends of the earth, who does not grow tired or weary. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak! Then if that is not enough if we just hope in the lord he will renew our strength and let us fly like the eagles. we will run and not feel beat down and can walk without feeling faint. Definition of faint. Syncope example extreme excitement ,anxiety or fear can cause people to faint. Emotional triggers. As someone prone to panic attacks what wonderful news that God has been working to eliminate them as they have lessened over the years and now know that they will not happen anymore with Gods help!?

  3. Isaiah. Describing the power of God. Nations are like a drop in a bucket. If we could peel back this universe and see heaven we would never worry again. How much hope in verse 31. What a promise

  4. This is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. These are the kind of words He would prefer to speak to His people, but His people’s behavior too often doesn’t warrant it. But He desires to bring comfort and peace. He calls out and tries to draw us to Him to see the rightness and beauty of HIs ways. We hold up what we have and we think it is all that, but it is nothing to a God of eternity and glory. The very nature of creation reveals His wisdom and supremacy and shows that He should be trusted and followed. And He tells us time and time again, but how much do we listen. How much do we trust the things of this life more than Him? But He has the power to bring those things to naught, and yet we compare Him and find Him lacking and say that He has disregarded us. And yet who or what can we compare Him to? He is the everlasting God. He orchestrates and rules creation as well as cares for and provides for His people. It is far better to rely on Him and receive the things He provides for those who incline themselves to Him. And you just can’t beat Isaiah 40:29-31.
