Isaiah 40

Isaiah 40 contains comfort and the reality of the awesome God we serve.  Isaiah writes: “who comes close to being like God”?  The answer is no one does.  God is who He is and there is none like Him.  He created the universe and is worthy of our praise.  He “sits high above the earth” and is in control of all.  He is the creator of all that is and ever will be.  And yet, He is a personal God who cares about the very details of your life and mine.  That is the amazement of God for me.  How He cares about every little detail and all the things that I am dealing with – but He knows each one and is right there in the middle of it all with me.  One of the most important verses Isaiah pens in this chapter is this: “the grass withers and the wildflowers fade, but our God’s Word stands firm and forever“.  What God has recorded on the pages of scripture will never change.  We can depend on them being the same forever.  And forever is a very long time.  So we need to learn them well.  We need to spend time understanding His Word.  It is the blueprint for life for eternity.  Investment made there is never wasted.  Because that Book contains the very Word of God and is golden for eternity.  Are you reading it?  It is imortant and a very valuable investment of your time!
