He Makes Us Able

Isaiah 40: 27-31

O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say that God ignores your rights? Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the Everlasting God, the Creator of all the Earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of His understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

How can we ever say that God does not see what is happening in our lives, or that He doesn't care what happens to us? How could He not see? How could He ever not care? He is the Everlasting, Omnipotent, Wise, Compassionate Creator and Controller of this whole Universe! He is the One Who imagines us, we are His imagination! If He were not thinking of us, we would not exist!

It is His Plan that is being carried out; His will that desires to grant forgiveness, and will punish the wicked who reject His goodness and beauty. It is His strength and His wisdom that enables us to do the things that carry out His Plan, and that gives Him pleasure! 

And God will receive all the credit for all He has planned out and achieved, all the honor and glory.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
