Isaiah 40:9 "O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!" (KJV)
Isaiah 40 is among the greatest chapters in all of the 1189 chapters of God's Word. In one chapter we get thoroughly introduced to the God of sacred scripture. In today's blog I want to give you the reader an outline of this marvelous chapter, with the aim to make you more eager to know and pursue the God of glory. The chapter begins with God being the source of comfort and ends with the same truth. May your Lord's day be blessed as you reflect on Isaiah's words in this fortieth chapter of His book.
