—Isaiah 40:25-31
by: Angie Osborn.
The New Living Translation puts this passage into everyday language. Verse 27 is translated “How can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? How can you say God refuses to hear your case?” Although this passage is addressed to Israel, the questions can certainly be applied to our lives. How many times do we find ourselves doubting that God sees, hears, or understands our troubles? How silly we are! Of course he knows our troubles! He is the God of the universe; he created it all! He knows each of us inside and out. Troubles will come. That is part of life. As believers, however, we have hope!
