6-6-22   THOUGHTS

We gain a glimpse of our almighty  God in the Isaiah passages below.  None is His equal.  God knows all of our ways!  I want to be one who “waits for the Lord”!  

Isa 40:21-31    Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?  22  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. 23  He it is who reduces rulers to nothing, Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless. 24  Scarcely have they been planted, Scarcely have they been sown, Scarcely has their stock taken root in the earth, But He merely blows on them, and they wither, And the storm carries them away like stubble. 25  "To whom then will you liken Me That I would be his equal?" says the Holy One. 26  Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, Not one of them is missing.  27   Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD, And the justice due me escapes the notice of my God"?  28  Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable.  29  He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power.  30  Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly,  31  Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.

Prov 30:7-9    Two things I asked of You, Do not refuse me before I die: 8  Keep deception and lies far from me, Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my  portion,  9  That I not be full and deny You and say, "Who is the LORD?" Or that I not be in want and steal,  And profane the name of my God.

My Prayer:
Give us a new strength, O God.  Help us to see and dwell on your might and strength and power. From before time to no time,  God  rules.  Keep us from being too comfortable in this world that we might  wait  powerfully for you.  Keep our focus and priority on what matters.  
We pray always in the name of our Savior, Christ Jesus,     Amen
