So that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the Lord has done this

Isaiah 41:17-29

The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs.

So that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the Lord has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created it.

“Present your case,” says the Lord. “Set forth your arguments,” says Jacob’s King. “Tell us, you idols,   what is going to happen. ... But you are less than nothing and your works are utterly worthless; whoever chooses you is detestable.

I have stirred up one from the north, and he comes— one from the rising sun who calls on my name. He treads on rulers as if they were mortar, as if he were a potter treading the clay.
26 Who told of this from the beginning, so we could know, or beforehand, so we could say, ‘He was right’? No one told of this, no one foretold it, no one heard any words from you. I was the first to tell Zion, ‘Look, here they are!’ I gave to Jerusalem a messenger of good news. I look but there is no one— no one among the gods to give counsel, no one to give answer when I ask them. See, they are all false! Their deeds amount to nothing; their images are but wind and confusion.

Why?

This messenger is Isaiah who calls on God's name.

God always cares for his people, but many people seek in vain, they turn to their idols.

The love of the Lord does not forsake his people.

Do we all false, what we are searching for?  Don't let idols replace the Lord.

How?

Praise the Lord and let the Lord be my way and my savior. Keep contact with our God.
