Your God Is Coming!

Isaiah 40. God is still working to fulfill his intentions for creation. To heal the brokenness of our world, to root out injustice once and for all, to bring humanity back to Eden. When we look around at our world today and see vulnerable people dying from Covid-19, and seething hatred destroying communities, and poverty growing like wildfire (or whatever it is you 've been facing!), it can be tempting to wonder if that's really true. If God is still working, then why are things still such a mess? The Israelites wondered this too. The exile in Babylon went on for decades. Year after year the Israelites watched as idols of the Babylonian gods were worshipped and paraded through the streets. They seemed to have all the power and Yahweh - the God of Israel - seemed to be absent. "Behold? Here comes God? I don 't see anything, and my situation sure doesn't seem to be changing." We know how that feels, don 't we? Put simply, Isaiah is saying to the people, God is still working. Just not the way we might expect. v.28 "No one can measure the depths of his understanding." If we trust in our own strength - if we trust in our own ideas of what God should or shouldn't be doing right now - we 're going to get exhausted. But if we trust in him - if we trust that our warrior shepherd God is on the move - that's when we will find new strength - new endurance to see us through.
