ISAIAH 46
Key Verse: Isaiah 46:4 “And even to your old age I am He; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.”
Thank God for His promise that He shall carry, bear and deliver you from young to old age as you call upon His mighty name.
1. God Shall Carry You
V4 “And even to your old age I am He; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you:…”
I know of a godly woman who has a retarded son. As I was talking to her, she told me that she has been taking care of him for more than 20 years. She has been feeding him, cleaning him and carrying him around. However she is worried that no one will take care of him when she dies and goes to be with the Lord. I assured her that God shall take care of her son as God promises in the book of Isaiah that He shall take care of His children from young to old age. As God takes care of the birds and the animals, surely God shall take care of man who is made in the image of God.
Psalms 37:25 “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.”
2. God Shall Bear You
V4 “And even to your old age I am He; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry,…”
Though each one of you is unique, you are made in the image and likeness of God with a heart that can learn to love, share and care, as you believe and call upon God to save you. This is why man and woman are different from birds and animals which eat, fight, mate and live by instinct. You can call upon God and cast all your care and trouble upon Him for He loves and cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7 “Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.
3. God Shall Deliver You
V4 “And even to your old age I am He; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.”
Indeed, God not only carry and bear your trouble but He shall also deliver you in the day of trouble!
Psalms 50:15 “And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.”
Prayer of the Week
God, thank You for carrying, bearing and delivering me in the day of trouble.
