While Godโs people had a long history of stubbornness and unfaithfulness, God has a long history of consistency and faithful love. Even when they did not do what was right, God loved them still. And even in exile and judgment, God brought comfort and hope. Starting with Isaiah 40, the focus of this book shifts to hope, restoration, and victory. In this lesson, we will look at how Godโs character and actions bring us comfort.

For a child or a person in danger, a loving voice of a parent or a firm voice of a person in authority brings comfort, relief, and protection. While we may associate Godโs voice with volume, He can also speak in a gentle whisper (1 Kings 19:12). Regardless of how He speaks, His word is reliable, true, and final. Through the prophet Isaiah, God comforts His people that the glory of the Lord will be seen by all together. This passage alludes to Christ, through whom Godโs grace is revealed in the flesh. We know Christ through Godโs word, the Bible. How do you respond when someone you trust speaks? How do you respond when God, your Creator and heavenly Father, speaks?

Nature and human life, even in all its beauty, will fade. Only Godโs word will stand forever. The Bible shows us that God is faithful to fulfill all His promises. His word is both timeless and timely. It is true forever and yet very real in our daily situations. God's word meets our deepest needs and from it we find true strength and hope. This is comforting and a source of strength and hope. Share about how Godโs word has been timely for you recently.

God loves each of us and expresses His love in response to our particular brokenness and burdens. While He allows some of us to freely dwell in His presence like sheep in pasture, He also seeks out those who are hurting and in need of reassurance. He gathers us in His arms and carries us in His bosom. This is a beautiful picture of both Godโs might in leading His people and His gentleness in caring for the brokenhearted. How is Godโs might and tenderness to His people reassuring? Why do you think He said, ๐๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ญ๐บ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ถ๐ด๐ข๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฎ (Isaiah 40:1)?
In the New Testament, John the Baptistโs ministry was a fulfillment of this prophecy: โ๐๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ข๐บ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฅ; ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฆ๐ณ๐ต ๐ข ๐ฉ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ธ๐ข๐บ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐๐ฐ๐ฅโ (Isaiah 40:3). He was referring to Jesus Christ, who is Lord and Savior, the embodiment of Godโs glory, and the tangible expression of Godโs love, mercy, and grace.
