Bible Comments

Isaiah 40:27-29

Notice:

I. Isaiah's despondency. It arose from a twofold source. (1) The sense of a Divine desertion: "My way is hid from the Lord." (2) The absence of Divine recompense: "My judgment is passed over from my God."

II. The truth that removed Isaiah's despondency. (1) The greatness of God in nature. (2) The tenderness of the revealed will.

III. The results of its removal. (1) Strength in weakness. (2) Immortal youth.

Isaiah 40:27-29

27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
