God Comforts & Sustains His People
Isaiah is like a miniature Bible.
The first 39 chapters of Isaiah,
like the 39 books of OT proclaim
judgment upon sinful mankind.
And the final 27 chapters of Isaiah,
like 27 books of NT, proclaim a
message of Comfort and Hope.
The Messiah is coming to be the
Saviour of sinful people. Therefore,
Comfort my people, say your God
Lord, U are Tender to Your People:
Comfort, comfort my people,
says your God (Isaiah 40:1).
He tends His flock like a Shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in His arms
and carries them close to His
heart; He gently leads (Isa 40:11).
The Everlasting God, the creator
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.
Lord, You are our Shepherd & You
faithfully feed & guide Your flock.
Thank You for Your protection
and Your provision. You are gentle
and You hold me in Your arms.
What an amazing promise. When
I am afraid or tired, remind me
that You desire to carry me
with all tenderness. Amen.
Lord, You Promise Strength to
the weak. Sometimes I am weak
and feel I can’t go on. And without
Your power, I can’t live as I should.
But in You there is new power
to “fly”, to run and to persevere.
Grant me Lord the experience
of Your limitless Strength so that
I can serve You faithfully and be
a light for U in a dark world. Amen
Lord, sometimes we feel weary
in the challenges of life while
waiting for fulfillment of promise.
But Your Word says those who
wait in You will find new Strength.
Help me Lord to trust that You will
enable me to run and not grow
weary; and to walk and not faint.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
