This message is informative. It is often said that the second section of the book of Isaiah begins with chapter 40 which was intended to give hope and build the confidence of the faithful remnants in view of the disappointments and sufferings of 70 years in the Babylonian captivity. It is against this background that we can relish the spiritual comfort that Isaiah. To a people tempted to be impatient, forgetful and of little faith,Isaiah said God is aware of that which befalls His people from day to day. We may be surrounded by all manner of unsympathizing hostility. And we may find ourselves tempted to indulge the fretful, distrustful Spirit.
We may be apt to think, "God has forgotten me He has passed me by!" But whatever our inadequate emotions and reactions may tell us, God is there, and aware of our situation "The Lord knows the way of the righteous. Man often wants to infect God with the weariness and weakness common to us. We get tired and want to quit, so we figure God gets tired and wants to quit. But God neither faints, nor is weary! There is a vastness about the reach and depth of His power that's overwhelming. It is simply unthinkable, especially in regard to covenant promises!. God is available to renew the strength of “those who wait" on Him. With trust in God, the returnees would mount up with wings like eagles, run and not be weary; walk, and not faint. It takes sincerity and steady dependence to waiting God. Thanks for this great post
