24/7

Isaiah 40: Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth, He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

I love this verse.

Sometimes we need to ask ourselves these two questions: Say, don’t you know, haven’t you heard?

Of course, we know.  We know that God is everlasting, he’s our Creator, and therefore…he never grows weary or tired, and…we cannot even comprehend his understanding!

However, we forget.

When in the middle of a crisis, or in the duration of a prolonged illness, we think God doesn’t know, and that he has somehow grown tired of our cries, and doesn’t understand our need.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

It’s easy to forget, to lose sight, and to close our ears to hear one more truth, because we’ve traded the truth for the lies. 

Our God, the one who created us, is amazingly merciful, caring, and understanding, even when we don’t see it.  In fact, in the times when we forget is when we must not lean on our own understanding - because our understanding is limited, finite, and minimal.

Go ahead and answer.  “Yes, I know!”

Then rest in the truth that He's awake 24/7 watching over you.
