Isaiah 40 - 43 (26th July) - Li Juan

Isaiah 40 – Comfort for God’s people
No man’s glory can be compared to the glory of God. All things will fade and pass away, yet the word of our God stands forever. So what shall we do? Read the Bible conscientiously, memorize scripture verses, pray these words and meditate on them! Our God is an everlasting God!



One of my favourite verses: “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Isaiah 41 – The Helper of Israel
God has chosen each and everyone of us and we are all special in His eyes.
An encouragement to all who have any fear in their lives: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

God will answer all who cry out to him. Do not go after the worthless idols, God is the only one who can quench your thirst.

Isaiah 42 – The Servant of the Lord / Song of Praise to the Lord / Israel Blind and Deaf
“I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand, I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from dungeons those who sit in darkness.”

Let us be the one who God uses. God is looking for people through whom He can do the impossible, what a pity that we plan only the things we can do by ourselves. Trust Him for the impossible! And all will praise our God when they see the many miracles! Open up your eyes to see the many wonders, open up your ears to hear the goodness of God. Do not be blinded and deaf anymore.

Isaiah 43 – Israel’s Only Savior / God’s mercy and Israel’s unfaithfulness
There is no other way to eternal life other than through Jesus Christ. God sees us more precious than any gems, even His son, He was willing to sacrifice to redeem us. No god was formed before our God, and none after too. He gives us a new beginning. Be thankful for the hope we can have.
