Isaiah 40 is a beautiful chapter that tells of the Creator's wondrous power and authority over all things. We are nothing in comparison to Him, we are so small and weak next to Him, and He has no logical reason to care for us in the least bit.
...And yet He does. He still cares, even when we don't care for Him. He still helps us up, when He knows we will just fall time and time again. He still watches over us, even when He knows there are times when we choose not to see Him. He still leads the way for us, even when we let go of His guiding hand sometimes. And He still loves us more than any other created being, even when we are ungrateful, ruthless, and selfish and won't love Him back in the way He so deserves.
That is the kind of God we are so fortunate to have. That is the kind of God we should ever so willingly desire and strive to serve each and every day of our lives. That is the God I long to someday meet face to face and fall down at His feet and worship forever and ever. "Oh, what a day of rejoicing that will be!"
“'To whom then will you liken Me, or to whom shall I be equal?' says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things, who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power; not one is missing. 'Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, 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.'" (Isaiah 40:25-26,28-31)
Have a blessed day!
