The Light Daily Devotional – Have You Not Known and Heard?
Focus: Have You Not Known and Heard?
WORD FOR TODAY
You truly have not understood until you grasp that God rules over all the affairs of men. He neither faints nor grows weary, and His understanding is beyond measure.
Scriptural Reference
“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.” — Isaiah 40:28 (NKJV)
The greatness of God cannot be quantified. Throughout generations, we have heard of His mighty works, marvelling at His wisdom in the creation of the heavens and the earth. We recall His righteous judgement during the time of Noah, where He used the flood to cleanse the world of sin, and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as a testament to His holiness. We have witnessed how He silenced formidable figures like Goliath, Pharaoh, and King Herod, demonstrating that no power can stand against Him.
Yet, God is not only a God of judgement; He is also a beacon of hope. He led the Israelites from the shackles of slavery to the promised land, carrying them on eagle’s wings. We remember the miraculous birth of Isaac to Sarah, who bore a child in her old age, and how He answered Hannah’s prayers with the gift of Samuel. Furthermore, we have witnessed the faithfulness of our God in the lives of David, Joseph, Daniel, and Mary. He has brought His word to pass, fulfilling His promises and demonstrating His unwavering commitment to His people.
Beyond the pages of Scripture, we have known Him through our personal experiences. We have seen how He has healed us when we thought all hope was lost, and how He has restored our joy and given us a future when we were destitute and without direction. Indeed, the Lord has placed us in positions we never could have imagined, raising us from the dust and the ash heap to set us among princes and make us inherit the throne of glory (1 Samuel 2:8). This is but a glimpse of the incredible personality and power of our God, the one who is to be honoured and praised from generation to generation.
If you have not known and heard of the Lord’s mighty acts and His unsearchable understanding, then you have yet to truly understand the essence of life. For there is no life outside of Him, and there is no one besides Him. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the God who was, and is, and is to come (Revelation 1:8).
Meditation: Have you come to truly know and understand the greatness of God in your life?
Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to know You more deeply and to recognize Your hand in every aspect of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Emphasis: God’s greatness is beyond measure. Seek to know Him and honour Him for His marvellous works.
Have an Awesome Day!
