Comfort My People, Cry Out To My Flock

 I was having my bible study today, and I came across this Chapter in the book of Isaiah...

What do you want to say? What do they want to hear?

There is so much to tell the people of God, so much to tell His children, His flock but only one thing resides in my mind as I write these notes out...

I know the thoughts I think towards you, thoughts of good and not of evil to give you and expected end... (Isaiah 55:8)

I came across this passage of the bible when I was studying today. 

I had questions and needs that I really wanted God to answer and while looking to get the answers to these questions, I found the Lord giving me responsibility and answers for His flock, His children as well.

“Comfort, comfort my people,”
    says your God.
2 “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem.
Tell her that her sad days are gone
    and her sins are pardoned.
Yes, the Lord has punished her twice over
    for all her sins.”

Isaiah 40:1-2

The very beginning of the chapter and I get to see what Abba is saying... 

It's not just about my needs and what I want but also about His children. God is very much concerned about what you're going through. 

Oh, you might think that God has forgotten you in that situation and that you're the "only one" left in the world. You are probably thinking that nobody understands you and what you're currently going through.

You most likely have thought that the Lord has forgotten you in the current state that you're living in, and are wondering where the next meal is coming from, or if you would ever be able to make it out of your dark moment, but I'll just share this with you.

Have you never heard?
    Have you never understood?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
    No one can measure the depths of his understanding.

Isaiah 40:28

The whole of Isaiah chapter 40 goes on to tell the might and power of the Lord and how much He truly cares for us, and I think that we tend to forget this little, huge detail a lot.

The one that we serve is truly in control, and when we remember that the Lord is Strong and mighty in battle and that He is the one teaches us to war, when we remember that it is this same God who made the Heaven and the earth, who numbered the stars, who sits on His throne and watches us as we live our lives... 

When you remember that this is the one who loves and care for us, and that He understands what you're going through because He experienced it as well, then you will be able to trust in what he is doing in your life.

Even when we are weak and tired, He is our strength.

He gives power to the weak
    and strength to the powerless.
30 Even youths will become weak and tired,
    and young men will fall in exhaustion.
31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
    They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
    They will walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:29-31.

One thing He expects from us though is that we do this,

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
    do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do,
    and he will show you which path to take.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Abba just wants you to trust in the word that He has given you.

Remember what he told you in times past? The very words that kept you going in times past?

Yes, those very words!

Go back to them and allow him to remind you of them... 

And remember,

Abba loves you very much.

Sincerely,
