Text: Isaiah 40:22 NKJV
Further Reading: Isaiah 40:18-23
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
Isaiah 40:22 NKJV
MESSAGE
God does not only know you, He sees you. From our text yesterday, we saw how Jesus saw Nathanael even before Philip ever called him. This God is amazing and sees everything. The Bible says that He dwells on high and beholds the things which are done in heavens and earth (Psalms 113:5-6).
Our text of the day says that He sits upon the circle of the earth, and every of its inhabitants before Him is as a grasshopper. The world of God says that is the High and lofty one who inhabits eternity (Isaiah 57:15).
In Genesis 21:14-21, when Abraham sent Hagar the Egyptian away with the child, God saw that and intervened when the child was left to die. He can also see you in your difficult situation. You can be sure that divine intervention is coming your way soon.
He sees your suffering, He knows what you are passing through and He will surely help you. In Exodus 3:7, God said to Moses, “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. Exodus 3:7 NKJV
The God that saw the affliction of His people and deliver them is the same today, He will deliver you in Jesus’ name. Is there any affliction that is troubling your life? Cry out to God today and deliverance will break forth in your life. Amen.
If you think that you can keep anything from this God, it’s a joke because He can see every one of your actions. The Bible confirms that He is the God of knowledge and by Him, every action is weighed (1 Samuel 2:3). Therefore you cannot hide sin in your life. You must avoid it. Be like Joseph who knew that though man may not see him if he commits adultery, but knows that God sees him. So he fled and would not sin against God.
Whether you are doing good or bad, God sees you and He will surely reward your actions. I, therefore urge you to ensure that you do that which is pleasing to God always.
REFLECTION
You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.
Psalms 139:2 NKJV
There is no point hiding from the one who sees and knows your next thought. Just surrender your everything to Him today.
PRAYER
Father, please look upon me and have mercy upon me. Change my story for good today.
