Today’s Bible Reading: Isaiah 40 – 42

Think the Old Testament is boring? Think again!! Just take a look at today’s reading in Isaiah and ponder God’s majestic greatness and yet His great love for us!

In today’s reading we find a prophecy regarding John the Baptist in Isaiah 40:3, “A voice of one calling in the desert prepare the way of the Lord.” (see John 1:23). We see prophecy regarding Jesus in Isaiah 40:5 “And the glory of the Lord will be revealed and all mankind together will see it.” God’s glory was revealed to all mankind when He became a man and walked among us. Jesus was God in the flesh, conquered death, rose again and revealed God’s love to mankind.(John 3:16)

We see God’s gentleness, “He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart” (Isa 40:11); His unsearchable wisdom (Isa 40:13); Incomparable greatness (Isa 40:18); He’s the creator of the universe (Isa 40:28); sustainer and strengthener of the weak (Isa 40:29); He chooses us and protects us (Isa 41:9-10); He takes hold of our hand and leads us (Isa 41:13); He is our REDEEMER (Isa 41:14); He makes water flow in the desert (Isa 41:18) yet listens to our prayer (Isa 41:21); He opens the eyes of the blind (Isa 42:7,18); frees the captives (Isa 42:7); He is the light of the world (Isa 42:16; see John 8:12).

As you read God's Word today, stand amazed at our Great God!

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! Romans 11:33
