Isaiah 40–43

Common Theme
God is the incomparable Creator and Redeemer who comforts His people, forgives their sins, and promises to be with them through every trial. He alone has the power to save and declares His love by calling His people by name.

Questions

• What false sources of comfort or strength do I turn to instead of resting in God’s presence and promises?
• How does knowing God formed and redeemed me change how I respond to fear or uncertainty?

God Shot
God speaks tenderly to His people, revealing Himself as the One who holds all power yet chooses to carry His flock close to His heart. He is the Sovereign Lord who created the heavens and the earth, and yet calls us “mine”—a God of might and mercy.
