Isaiah 40

It's funny, on my way home I was reflecting on my busy day and thinking about how to make time to blog tonight. (I usually do it in the morning but started my day with a difficult parent meeting at 7:30am.) I was thinking about how difficult life can be sometimes. Dealing with work issues, home issues, church issues, it can become overwhelming. We try to do our best but sometimes it just isn't good enough. Then we deal with how to make time to fit God into our busy lives. But it shouldn't be that way we should fit our busy lives into God.

I think that is what has been troubling me for a while. I try to find a time when I can read the bible each day and time to reflect instead of beginning my day reading the bible and reflecting. Then being energized to start my day. Of course not being a morning person I am not going to get up at 4:30am each day to do that. So where does that leave me?

Reading this chapter brings me some peace. To me it tells us that God is always there for us, he will lift us up when we are weary and give us new strength. We should take comfort in knowing that God is always and will always be there. I just need to keep remembering this when I am feeling beat down and weary.

    I loved this chapter too. So many verses that bring so many memories of music. Both comfort in meaning and comfort in nostalgia!

    I too enjoyed this chapter and agree that our lives should surround God.(v8)"The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the Word of our God shall stand forever." This verse captures
    how "small" we are and how never-ending He who knows all is. (v25)"With whom will you compare
    me? Who is my equal?" asks the Holy One. The answer is no one can compare, His love and faithfulness towards us is unquenchable. On my
    way into work Tuesday the radio broadcast I listen to spoke on Romans 8:31,"If God is for us who can stand against us?" Those ten words
    were an awesome way to begin my day.
