• Little Jeanie and her Mom were saying their "Good Night Prayers" together. Suddenly, she said in a bold voice, "God, please take care of Yourself. If anything happens to You, we're in a mess. We really need You, God."
• Thankfully, Isaiah had some comforting words for Little Jeanie. Knowing others would have the same concern, God inspired him to write, "Don't you know that the Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the earth? He never grows faint or weary!"
• What encouraging words from the Lord Himself! Here we see Isaiah describing our God's power to create, His power to sustain what He creates and His presence to help when we call upon Him. Our God is almighty and all powerful. Yet, with all of His greatness, He cares for each of us individually and our concerns and cares are not beneath Him or beyond Him.
• Our God is beyond description and when we try to describe Him with our limited vocabulary, we only limit our understanding of Him. But this we know:
• There is no limit to His love and no end to His forgiveness. No problem is too large for Him to solve nor any person too small for Him to recognize. He is not kind one moment and hateful the next. He is not strong one hour and weak the next. He does not want what is best for us one moment and then forgetful of us the next.
• Prayer: Thank You God, for being our God. Thank You for being present today and every day and for Your promise of never leaving us nor forsaking us. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
• Scripture for Today: Isaiah 40:27-31: 27 Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel, "My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God"? 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. 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.
