Isaiah 40
Isaiah warns Hezekiah of hard times to come in his kingdom (see Isaiah 39:5-7) - such hard times befall all of us (see last post and John 16:33) and too often we look to the world for our comfort - I know I do. Yet it is God who will comfort us - and first and foremost we most go to God's Word as his words and their permanence steady us and provide comfort as chaos in the world surround us.
More on God's word.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God's whose word lasts forever - thank You Jesus for providing Your Son, the Holy Spirit, and Your Word for to save us and to comfort us. I am not worth such love - as I worry too much and too often. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind, and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself and wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever. v8
