“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. He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power.- (Isaiah 40:28-29).
In challenging times the temptation is to complain and make Him out other than who He is, indeed to create a “god” of our own imagination as substitute for who He truly Is. In Isaiah 40 His call is to “comfort, comfort My people”{v1} and then deals with their complaint, to consider who He truly is. CONTEMPLATE Him. CELEBRATE Him. Deposit your CONFIDENCE in Him! God COMFORTS the Complainers by Pointing to His Character and giving them reasons why they can trust Him! Confidence in God’s Power, that no situation can thwart!CONSIDER Him, Celebrate Him and Confidently Trust Him. Praise Him for Who He is. Take truths concerning His character from these verses and
THINK on Him, speak to yourself as faith comes by hearing His Word and builds you up, where complaining attacks the character of God and dishonors Him and have you noticed, it is ..contagious!
