The next few days we will be looking at verses from Isaiah 40. This is one of the most comforting chapters in the Bible. God was preparing the people of Israel for a difficult time to come, mainly because of their own unfaithfulness to God. For 70 years they would be help captive by the land of Babylon and they would probably think that God had forsaken them. The Lord has Isaiah write to them to reassure them that God would never forsake them and would always be with them.
The very first verse is amazing. God wanted Isaiah to comfort His people and remind them that God is greater than any problem they might have. Most of us can identify with the meaning of the word "COMFORT!" It means to "BREATH AGAIN". Have you ever been so worked up that it feels like you can't breath and you are waiting for the moment when you can breath again. That is how most of have felt these past 7 - 8 month with Corvid 19 and all the trauma it has created in our lives.
As we trust the Lord and cry out to Him, He will help us "breath" even in the midst of all of this mess, not just when it is over. We can breath because God is in control and has a plan for all of this, even in our own lives. So take a deep breath and ask God to help you "BREATH AGAIN!" today!
Now read the rest of Isaiah 40 and may God comfort your heart and BREATH!!!
