DO YOU NOT KNOW?”

“Have you not heard?  Has it not been declared to you from the beginning?”
“Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?” 
“It is He who sits above the vault of the earth,
and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
who stretches out the heavens like a curtain 
and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.” 

“He it is who reduces rulers to nothing, who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.  Scarcely have they been planted, scarcely have they been sown, scarcely has their stock taken root in the earth, but He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the storm carries them away like stubble.” 

“To whom then will you liken Me that I should be his equal?” says the Holy One.  “Lift up your eyes on high and see who has created these stars, the One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power not one of them is missing.”

“Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, ‘My way is hidden from the LORD, and the justice due me escapes the notice of my God’"?

Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired.  His understanding is inscrutable.” 

“He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.”           Isaiah 40:21-31
*****After meditating on Isaiah 40 this week, and in the midst of today’s needs and unrest, I couldn’t help but take Isaiah’s words of wisdom and declaration personally:
  1. Steve, do you not know?  The only God, who is Creator and sovereign of all – is in control!  HE IS ALL POWERFUL!
  2. Steve, do you not know?  Your God is The Ruler of all the nations!  It is God who judges all the earth! HE IS ALL KNOWING; ALL PRESENT!
  3. Steve, do you not know? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning?  It is God who gives you your strength; it is God who gives you your hope and power!                                    GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!

          Mr. Steve
