The mighty wonders of God

Isaiah speaks of Gods Wonders

The history of the Jewish nation is was much like ours today. They continued to be blessed buy God, and in return they would turn away from him and forget about Him and cleave and pray to their idols. Despite the increase of sin and corruption , there are still good Christians,, who love and serve God. Today we will look at the power, the person, and the prayer.

I. Power vv, 12-17 we see Gods power in creation

The image Isaiah gives us affirms Yahweh's sovereignty; he is the only creator.

Gen 1:1–2:4a presents creation in an orderly, balanced, symmetrical account. The narrative is structured around the idea of forming and filling, with two triads corresponding to one another. In the first triad, God creates a space or environment; in the second triad, He creates the corresponding actors to fill that space.

Day 1: Forming the light (Gen 1:1–5)

Day 4: Filling with Sun and Moon (Gen 1:14–19)

Day 2: Forming the sky and seas (Gen 1:6–8)

Day 5: Filling with fowl and fish (Gen 1:20–23)

Day 3: Forming the dry land (Gen 1:9–13)

Day 6: Filling with earth creatures (Gen 1:24–31)

a. verse 12, He has the world in His hands

b. verse 14, tells God is a teacher, he is not one who needs to be taught.

c. verse 15, compared to the greatness God, all the powers is the world can not compare to His power.

d. verse 16, lebanon had a reputation of its trees, the cedars of lebanon, yet there is not trees in lebanon to make an altar and a sacrifice worthy enough for God.

II. Person vv. 18-26, 28

Isaiah said to who or what will you compare God to?

a. worthlessness of idolatry.

The people worshiped idols that were created by the hands of man, made by materials that God almighty created.

b. Today is no different, many people put other things before God, they willfully serve the idols made by mans hands, their excuses become a form of idolatry.

Romans 1:18-25

III. Prayer vv. 29-31

a. he gives power to the weak. (God sees your weariness, and in time will restore you from your weakness. (These writings show us the writers concerns for Gods holiness, sovereignty and plans to restore Judah.

1. we need Gods holiness, we need to believe in the sovereignty of God, that means he has supreme power and authority over all! and one day we will be restored when christ returns.

b. Even the young will faint, and God will restore them. vv.30

c. They shall go up with wings like eagles. this is a reminder to them about gods work while they were being led out of Egypt and their time wandering in the wilderness. This also tells them that God will lead them through another exodus from Babylon.

Gods work is never done. He is in control, and hes still leading his people out.
