Introduction

Isaiah 40:18–31: Today’s reading is in the form of a hymn celebrating God as creator of the all the world and to whom nothing can be compared.

Today’s Key Verse: Isaiah 40:31a

Those who trust in the LORD for help will find their strength renewed.

Reflect

In what ways does today’s reading answer the question posed in verse 18? How would you describe God? What does today’s reading teach you about God? Reread verses 28–31. What words of hope, comfort, and encouragement do these verses proclaim?

Pray

Lord, you are the everlasting God and your power is great. You never grow tired or weary. Whenever I am weak or tired, I can turn to you for help, trusting that you will renew my strength. I thank and praise you for your everlasting care. Amen.
