“Do you not know? Have you not heard? 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.”

Isaiah 40:28

What a wonder you are, O Triune God: the Powerful Ruler, Gracious Savior and Strong Shepherd. Isaiah wrote of your greatness in chapter 40, starting in verse10, “See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and his arm rules for him.”

You, Lord God, the King of Glory, Almighty Ruler, Powerful Creator and Eternal Sustainer, are faithful to govern rightly with overwhelming power. No one can withstand you, no one can successfully resist your overall glorious plans. You will come at the perfect time to right all wrongs in grace and justice. Glory be to you.

“See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him.” You are a generous and rich God with endless resources, who pours out blessing and grace and goodness on all people, and especially on your children.

You gift us with salvation, forgiveness, grace and goodness when we actually deserve punishment, suffering, death and destruction. Glory be to you. You have rewards, crowns and blessings in heavenly places awaiting those who love and follow the Lord Jesus.

Prayer: “May you, Lord God, be lifted up in my life today through thoughts of thanksgiving, words of worship, actions of obedience and attitudes of trust, for you, as the Good Shepherd, are worthy of all exaltation and honor. Amen.”
