Do You Know?

Isaiah 40 might contain my favorite verse on understanding!

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.

Even our best friends, our most awesome of parents, and the incredible enduring athletes of all time grow tired and weary.  We have to sleep.  We have to rest.  We have to retreat in order to reenter life.  And our understanding of live is extremely limited by our finite minds.  And all of the wondering and seeking to understand and run and do and be makes us tired.

But not so with the Lord!

He is the definition of everlasting.
He is the definition of continuous creativity.
He is the definition of endurance.
He is the definition of understanding.

When all else fails around us, he is there.  When everyone falls asleep beside us, he with us and sees us.  When nothing makes sense in our world he understands, because he has a good plan.

Don’t you know this?  Haven’t you heard it?

Now you have…
