I love the truths found in Isaiah 40. Isaiah tells us that the Lord comes with power and rules with a mighty arm. The Lord has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand and has marked off the heavens. He has weighed the mountains on a scale and put the hills on a balance.
No one taught the Lord the right way or enlightened Him. No one taught Him knowledge or showed Him how to understand things. He knows the names of every single star. Yet even with all of that power and knowledge, He gathers lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart.
And that, my friends, is the power of God. That power that you just read about is not only available to you but is living inside you if Jesus owns your heart. He’s there to lead you, comfort you, and empower you to live out your surrendered life in this fallen, broken world that we call our temporal home. See for yourself:
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4
So do not fret when the mediocre attacks of Satan come your way. They will. And when they do, when you find yourself fretting and worrying and wondering how to come out on top, stand on the Word of God and proclaim His truth. The Word of God is sharper than any double-edge sword (Heb. 4:12) and will make the enemy flee.
You’ve got the power because the Power lives inside you.
