Isaiah 40:28-29
Do you know the God that you serve? I hope that you know and understand that as a co-heir with Jesus Christ we serve a God that is limitless and all mighty… Even though you may have experienced a setback or may not be where you desire; Isaiah has a question for you while you are in the midst of your current circumstance… “Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard…?” If you really feel like giving up or throwing in the towel today you must know realize the authority and power which lies in the hand of the God you serve… If you are waving your white flag in the direction of the enemy as a sign of surrender than you must not know the everlasting God that is bigger than any situation or conflict… The bible declares that God is every present, the bible also declares that we must rung this race with perseverance… This means that we must believe and stand in faith that the word of God is true when it says that “you will reap a harvest in due time if you faint not…” No matter what has taken place in your life, no matter how great or mighty the storm may appear to be, you can find comfort and solace in knowing that you serve a God that is unmatched and like no other… He is as Isaiah records in today’s focus verses “the everlasting God, the Lord, the creator…” Despite what you me be facing right now, proclaim through your faith that the word is true and you serve notice to the enemy today that God is not a man that He should lie nor the son of man that he should repent…
Does he speak and not act, does he promise and not fulfill (Numbers 23:19)… His promises are real and will be manifested as He said… The songwriter said,“My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness, on Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand…” Isaiah reminds us today that in times of despair we have a reason to smile, when things seem deem we have a glamour of hope, when darkness has filled our lives we have a ray of sunshine, when storms rage and ravage the land we can find shelter… As a child of God we must remember that even at the darkest hours of our lives God is at work, we must hold on to the fact that even when the mountain seems to steep God is right there and will never leave us nor forsake us… Times of despair teach us where we stand as a child God, but also help us to focus on strengthening our faith in Him… When trials surface, we are to take them in stride and showcase the work that God has begun in us… We aren’t called to whine about our situations or current circumstances, we aren’t suppose to throw our hands up as if we have been defeated, we aren’t suppose to complain to each other about our problems and we aren’t suppose to give up… We may not understand the trials that we face, we may not comprehend the current situations, but we find joy in knowing that God will deliver us, we find peace in knowing that He will never put more on us than we can bear, we find strength in knowing that God has a plan for our lives… The bible says, “He who has begun a good work will complete it…” The bible says, “For I know the thoughts that I have toward you, thoughts of prosperity, hope and a future…” Don’t become discouraged because you have indeed heard that God doesn’t become weary, you have heard that He hears your faintest cry and has all power in the palm of His hand… Paul said, “When I am weak, He is strong…”
Isaiah reminds us today that God will give you strength to make it through the day, He will give you authority over every trial, and He will give you power over every stronghold and will turn every obstacle into a stepping stone… Your weakest point will become your greatest showcase of faith and God’s faithfulness… The fact of the matter is that your trials display the truth of where you stand as a child of God… If you think that you can’t win, if you think that you have no hope, if you think that the enemy has won, if you think that your children have strayed to far, if you think that your marriage can’t be fixed, if you believe that your debt can’t be wiped out, if you think that this journey is to hard to take, if you complain at every storm that comes your way; then Isaiah wants you to know that you don’t know the God you serve… You haven’t heard of the delivering power He poses and you haven’t understood that He is the way, the truth and the light… You can smile in the face of adversity, not because you enjoy the current predicament, but because you know and have heard of the God you serve which is mightier than any tribulation… The Israelites went through bondage and the desert before reaching the Promise Land, your journey will produce the same steps but more importantly, it will produce the same results…
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
