—Isaiah 40:1-11
by: Gabriela Alonzo.
God comforted Jerusalem through deliverance from and forgiveness of their iniquities. While God had punished them, He had not forsaken them. Like a good father, our Heavenly Father does not punish simply for punishment’s sake. Rather, He disciplines as an act of love and patiently waits for us to repent and walk out from sin’s captivity. God proclaimed to Jerusalem that their captivity was over, reminded them that His Word stands forever, and that they were free to behold His greatness. Are you still captive to your sin? Have you forgotten that His Word stands forever? What is keeping you from beholding God’s greatness?
