Needing Encouragement?

Lift Up Your Eyes on High...

What a wonderful God we have! And seeing all His tender watch-care over us, planning for our every need, far beyond our own awareness, gives us a huge reason to trust Him.

Isaiah 26:3  "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in Yahweh for ever: for in the Yahweh JEHOVAH is everlasting strength." 

Maybe today you find yourself exhausted, filled with doubts and disillusionment. Maybe you are starting to wonder whether God even sees or hears you. If so, Yahweh has a Word for you.

It doesn't explain why everything is happening the way it is in your life, though you probably couldn't fully grasp God's Perspective on it even if He showed it to you (no one could). But it does give you the path to hope, strength and renewal. It is one of the most powerful and personal messages Yahweh has for you - and you will find it in the stars.

Isaiah 40:25-31"'To whom then will ye liken Me, or shall I be equal?', saith the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calleth them all by names by the greatness of His Might, for that He is strong in power; not one faileth. Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from Yahweh (He doesn't see me), and my judgment is passed over from my God (He isn't defending or caring for me)? Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of His understanding. (His wisdom is beyond measurement or comprehension). He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall. But they that wait upon Yahweh shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." 

In Isaiah 40, God invites you to count the stars - if you can. You cannot do it of course, but it isn't the product (the actual number of the stars) that He's trying to show you - its the process! As you're considering the number of the stars, the Scripture from Isaiah begins to seep in to a deeper level. Yahweh knows all the stars. He's named them all. He keeps them all - and He's not tired.

Waiting and trusting in Him greatly honors Yahweh. He asks His people to do it. But it when we lift our eyes to the heavens that we can stop being Earth-centered and downward-focused. It is in sight of the vastness of the Father's Creation that we begin to understand, everyone matters - even me. And although I am small, nothing that He has made is insignificant in the Creator's Sight. All are ordered, present, and accounted for by His Power and Attention. 

Bearing that in mind, you are strengthened and enabled to wait in Yahweh, trusting in Him to provide for you as well.
