Isaiah 40:9-31
Say to the towns of Judah,"Here is your God!"
He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms ad carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.
Who has understood the mind of the Lord, or instructed him as his counselor?
To whom, then, will you compare God? What image will you compare him to?
To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal? says the Holy One. Lift your eyes and look to the heaven:Who ceated all these? Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
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(to measure the depth of by means of a sounding line; sound.).
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.
Why?
God is tender and gentle as a shepherd with his lambs.
Israel's God is the Creator: incomparable, eteranl. Yet he never stops caring for his people.
Jesus tool up this picture, describing himself as the good shepherd and his parable of the lost sheep.
Those section speaks so powerfully of God's salvaton that Christians see in it something much bigger than the rescue of Israel at a particular time in history.
God's firm purpose to deliver humandkind from the 'bndage' of sin: his promise of a new life for all who will come to him.
People sometime think the Lord is hidden and my cuase is distegarded by the Lord. Here the Lord answer to us that he is listening and he is working and won't tired or weary. He promised no one of them is missing.
How?
No matter what happen, lift up my eyes to the Lord, he is my savior, he promised not one of his children is missing. Praise to the Lord, Almighty my God!
My strength and my way is rely on the Lord,especially when I go back to Taiwan, is the Lord who gives me the strength to serve Him.
