Isaiah 40 - The Grace of God

 

Isaiah 40 – The Grace of God

 

Everything that Isaiah predicts about the one who is to come will be fulfilled. He is the one that offers the invitation that says, “Come unto me all you that labor and who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Our God is the comforter, He comforts us in all our tribulations, and He enables us to comfort others like He comforts us. When Jesus transcended into heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit to comfort us.

 

In Isaiah’s day and in even some religions today they brought sacrifices to appease their angry gods. It was done because their gods were always angry. The One and true God is not angry. It is man’s sins that alienates them from God. God does not expect us to do anything to appease Him. He sent His Son to die for us, He was our gift from God. That is our comfort for the world today.

 

Our flesh is feeble and frail, and it will soon pass away, but the Word of God is strong and secure and endures forever. It is the only gospel that gives eternal life to man who is just a natural creature on this earth. When you see Jesus Christ as God manifest in the flesh, you must come to Him as He is, not just as a man, but as God.

 

There is no man or any manmade god equal to our Father in heaven. We see our equals every day in each other. Compared to God, we know very little, we only know what God has revealed to us in His word and we can’t even comprehend all that He has told us.

 

Isaiah wants us to know that God knows about the difficulties and problems of His children. If you belong to Him, then He will quiet the storms in your life, but there are lessons for us to learn in these storms. Rather than cry out against God, we should be asking what the lesson is we need to learn from this storm. God will not let us go through hard times if there is no lesson to be learned. Regardless of who you are when you need strength to walk, He will give it to you. If you need strength to run, God will furnish it, and if you need to fly He has that for you also.
