Setting the Stage:
We should seek comfort in God's omnipotence Isaiah 40:1-11
In Isaiah 40-48 Isaiah reminds the people that a time of deliverance is coming because of God's greatness and His care for His people. Chapter 40 focuses in on the majesty of the great God. Isaiah warned the people that a time of exile was coming. a time when the people of Israel would be held captive. However, the people could take comfort in God. The word comfort in verse 1 is repeated twice for emphasis. In verse two Jerusalem is addressed tenderly and we note that her time in captivity is described as hard service.
There are times in life when life can only be described as hard. The proper perspective to take in this times is to be reminded of God's omnipotence.
In verses 3-5 Isaiah calls on the people to prepare the way for the Lord.
All four Gospels applied this to John.
The point is that in the midst of hardship we need to be reminded to prepare ourselves for the mighty God to step in.
In verses 6-8, a second voice, God, draws a contrast between people and God. People are temporary, God never fails
In the midst of hardship we need to be reminded that the mighty God will fulfill his word.
As in verse 10 we need to recognize that the sovereign Lord is at work.
With all of this in mind we see that we need to seek comfort in the omnipotent God. So what does omnipotence mean?
Preview: We will see that God's omnipotence means his power is unmeasurable, beyond comparison, displayed in creation, and the source of our strength.
Body
God's power is unmeasurable (40:12-17)
God's power is displayed in His personal creation (12).
God's power is displayed in His unfathomable intellect (13-14).
We cannot fathom what it would be like to truly know everything.
