Theme: Here is your God.
Crisis Converted Then:
After forty-plus years in exile, it would be easy to forget about God. Surely, many Israelites wavered not only in their devotion but also in their understanding of who Yahweh is. The prophet is not only called to preach their deliverance but more importantly to remind them of Yahweh’s nature. He joyfully exclaims, “Here is your God.” This God is both all-powerful (v. 10) and, yet, tenderhearted (v. 11). He reigns over all creation (v. 12) and is beyond all comprehension (v. 13).
Crisis Converted Now:
So often our relationship with God centers around what he does for us or what he says about us. The songs we sing in worship or listen to on Christian radio carry this theme as well. “I am a child of God,” for example. In contrast, these passages declare God’s eternal nature for himself. These are just reflections on who God is. Has your faith grown past a self-centered faith? Do you think about God just for the joy of his being? Meditate today on God’s character and quality.

About this Plan
This study from Isaiah 40-55 explores our identity as people affected by trauma but living in hope. In the exile, God’s nation had to find new life when their old life had been completely overturned and destroyed. Similarly, we now find ourselves trying to “return to normal” in the aftermath of a global pandemic. Yet, God can take any crisis and convert it for his glory and our growth.
