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…
BE BLESSED!!!
