Post of the Week: Isaiah 40&43

Wait Upon the Lord 

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, we will Wait Upon You:
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 (Isa 40:28-31).
When you go through deep waters
and great trouble, I Will Be With you.
When you go thro rivers of difficulty
you will not drown…For I am the Lord
your God… your Savior (Isa 43:2-3)
Behold I will do a new thing… I will
even made a road in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert… that they
may Proclaim My Praise (v19-21).

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.

Lord, thank You for Your promises
of presence, deliverance and
protection. Because You’ve said:
“I will Be With you”, what have
I to fear? Help me to trust in You,
not only in the small details of life,
but also in times of great trouble.
For You are indeed not only my
Lord and my God, You are also
my deliverer & my Savior. Amen.

Lord, Your Word says U are always
with me in times of great trouble.
Help me Lord to hang on to
Your promise even when I can’t
see or sense Your presence.
Give me the needed strength
to pass through my trials and
ultimately triumph so that I will
not be in shame and that Your
name will be glorified. Amen.
