"Comfort, Yes, Comfort My People" - Part Three

We are continuing our series about Jehovah God providing comfort to all of us during this pandemic. In our first two messages, we have learned that God provides comfort by defeating our enemies past, present and future. He also provides comfort as our Shepherd providing for all our needs.

Isaiah 40:21-22 says, "Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundation of the earth? It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in."

Twice in Isaiah 40 in verses 21, 28 God asks these two questions - Have you not known? Have you not heard? Why did He use such a unique approach? We believe it was a way for Jehovah God to get our attention. The messages following those two questions are so important that God is reminding us that we have Already Known Of Him. Romans 1:19 says, "Because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them."

This very important message from God is that He is the creator of everything and controls everything past, present and future, that He is Lord God Almighty! Isaiah 40:22 says that God spreads out the heavens like a tent for all of us to dwell in. When we look at the sky, we are observing the heavens even though we cannot see them. God desires us to see them as a covering of His protection over us similar to the covering of a tent.

What A Mighty God We Serve,

Angels Bow Before Him,

Heaven And Earth Adore Him,

What A Mighty God We Serve.

In conclusion, we should also look at Isaiah 40:28-29 saying, "The Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary . . . He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength." Our Mighty God is always there to exercise His might and power to protect us and take care of us. He even shares His power with us in our times of weakness. He causes us to "Fly like eagles, run and not be weary, walk and not faint." {Isaiah 40:31}

We can all be comforted by knowing we serve a Mighty God who is the King Of Kings and Lord Of Lords and at His Name every knee should bow. {Philippians 2:9,10} Bless His Holy And Mighty Name!

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Every Day,
