Comfort for God's People

"All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field...The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the work of our God stands forever." Isaiah 40:6,8

You have probably noticed that today's devotion is entitled "Comfort for God's People." Please note that I did not make that title up myself. It is actually the title that the Bible gives for Isaiah 40. The entire chapter is about comfort from God.

When you take a look at the verses I used from Isaiah 40 you may be asking, "Where is the comfort? These verses are talking about men dying and their glory diminishing."

Well, here's the comfort: IT'S NOT ABOUT US!

As God's human creation, we are going to come and go in the world, but God is not going anywhere. He was here before us and He will be here after us. Our lives, roles and achievements may seem so significant to us now, but they are nothing compared to what God has done, what God is doing, and what God will do. The comfort comes when you can let go of worldly pressures and expectations and look to God and say, "It's all about you Lord!"
