Where does my help come from?
Isaías Rivera
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: In Isaiah chapter 40, verses 25 to 31, the prophet reminds the Jewish people that even though they are in a difficult situation, they should not doubt God's presence and power. They should look up to the heavens and remember that God is the eternal creator of the universe, who never tires or forgets his people. Even in the desert, in the valley, or in difficult situations, they should trust in God's strength to renew their own. The speaker encourages the audience to remember this message and not feel alone, as God is always with them.
Isaiah chapter 40, verses 25 to 31. In the historical context of this passage, the nation of Israel no longer existed, the kingdom of the North had disappeared, only the two tribes that make up the kingdom of the South had remained. And of that reality for this people of the kingdom of the South, it is very consistent with a sadness, with a darkness, because they question themselves, how is it possible that being the people of God, only two tribes remain? Only the southern kingdom remains.
And when things are not going well for us, the first thing that attacks us, that sticks with us, that occurs to us, that comes to our heads, is doubt, and we question where God is. Many times with our voices, with our mouths, we declaim, we say, no, we have never had a moment of doubt. We have never questioned where God was. And many times, like this town, we can be in the desert, we can be in the valley, we can be in the mountains, we can be in the sand, and when things are not going well for us, doubt takes center stage in our heads. When we have doubts, we are questioning whether God is still God. When we have doubts, we don't think, that no matter how you and I are, that question where is God occurs to us again, because in the desert, it has not happened to you that you are saving money, and when you believe that you already have After saving the money for what you want to do, the car's water pump breaks and that's where the savings went.
