Isaiah chapter 40. Who really is God?
Chapter 40 gives a prophecy about the coming of John the Baptist who is Jesus's forerunner. He came and prepared the people for the coming of the Savior Jesus who would bring hope and salvation to all. For those who have received Jesus they are instructed to now share the good news, not timidly, but with boldness and confidence that come from the Holy Spirit.
This coming Savior, Jesus, loves us and says he keeps us close to his heart. His love cannot be described in human words. Nor can he be out done. He created all people and all things. He's the holder of all wisdom. No one can teach him anything. The wisdom and power that we have falls forever short to God's wisdom and power. He has no equal.
If this is true, and it is, then why do we seek other people and other things for our ultimate pleasure or our ultimate satisfaction? Anything that anyone else can offer us falls way short to what God offers us.
He offers us forgiveness of sin. He can save us. Who else can give us everlasting hope? No one! Then help us to please stop acting as if God's created things that are better than he is. Why do we put our hope in other people or things?
May we get our focus where it deserves to be and that's on the Lord. Then let us be transformed by His Glory and Power. Then let us share the good news of Jesus with others, boldly and confidently.
