The
verse that is my title is Isaiah 40:8b.
Wow!
‘FOREVER” is a word that cannot be misunderstood.
Our ONE YEAR BIBLE reading for
September 22 is Isaiah 39:1 - 41:16. So...in case you didn’t read it...I want
to share some of these magnificent verses with you. As you read them, focus,
meditate, and consider what they say. These Words will stand FOREVER. I
have used the NIV with some and the NKJV with others:
40: 8 - “The grass withers, the
flower fades, but the Word of our God stands forever.”
One of my favorites when thinking of my
children and grandchildren...
40:11 - “He feeds His flock like a shepherd; He
gathers the lambs in His arms, and carries them close to His heart...” Just picture that!!!
Speaks
of His magnificent power...
40:12 - “Who has measured the
waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off
the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the
mountains on the scales...”
And...
40: 26 - “Lift your eyes and
look to the heavens; Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host
one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of His great power and mighty
strength, not one of them is missing.”
40:21 - “...Has it not been
told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of
the earth? It is He who sits above the circle of the earth.”
His wisdom...
40:13 - “Who has directed the
Spirit of the Lord, or as His counsellor has taught him?”
THIS VERY GOD
CARES FOR US AND GIVES US THIS COMFORT:
40:28-31 - 28 Have you not known? Have
you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the
weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on
the Lord Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.”
And...
41:10 (KJV)” Fear thou not;
for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee;
yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my
righteousness.” I LOVE THIS VERSE!
Brant just returned from
Overseas and a very important meeting with his “team” about our Bible ministry.
Through the years, millions of Bibles have been placed in needy countries. Some
countries cannot be named or are too dangerous to enter. The Bibles are being carried in not just by
our man “G” but by many other Christian organizations. PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD will use His word where, in many cases,
missionaries and preachers cannot go.
Take
a few minutes, open God’s Word, and read these precious chapters to remind you
of the God Who is magnificent in power but also loving to
all of us as a FATHER who CARES for US.
