God Is Tender & Helps the Weak
Backgrounder on Isaiah 40-43:
The book of Isaiah has been likened
to a miniature Bible, its 66 chapters
paralleling the 66 books of Bible.
The first 39 chapters of Isaiah,
like the 39 books of the OT
proclaim judgment upon sinful
mankind. God’s patience is great,
but He will not allow persistent sin
go unpunished. Beginning with
today’s section, the final 27
chapters of Isaiah, like the 27 books
of the NT, proclaim a message of
comfort and hope. The Messiah
is coming to be the Saviour of
sinful people. Therefore, comfort
ye my people, saith your God (40:1)
Lord, U are Tender to Your People:
He 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 (Isa 40:11).
The Everlasting God, the Lord,
the creator of the ends of the
earth neither faints nor is weary…
He gives power to the weak,
and to those who have no might
He Increases Strength…
But those Who Wait on the Lord
Shall Renew their strength:
They shall mount up with wings
like eagles, they shall run and
not be weary, they shall walk
and not faint (v28-31). Amen.
