We all have times in our lives where we hit a low point, those times when we are worn out, when nothing seems to be going as we had hoped and the pressure of life seem to become bigger and more overwhelming, no matter what we try to do to improve our situation. This was the situation God's people found themselves in when the prophet Isaiah was writing. They had been defeated by the Babylonians, Jerusalem had been destroyed and many of the people carried off into exile. Their faith in God was under strain and the people were utterly demoralised, asking where God was in the middle of their difficulties. We are going to consider the message that Isaiah brought to God's people in their day and see what it teaches us about living for Jesus in ours as we think about:
- God's person
- God's power
- God's promise
