WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.919 Well, last Sunday evening, Kirstie and I left Ennis. We'd been up there for the weekend and we were making our way home. 00:00:09.540 --> 00:00:15.599 As you heard in the news, as we did, there'd been warnings of snow, rain and ice. 00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:22.280 But I assured Kirstie with great confidence, we're going to be all right. 00:00:24.260 --> 00:00:26.800 Don't you think we should wait until the morning? 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.820 No, we'll be fine. Just a bit of snow. 00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:34.719 With promises made, we took off. 00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:39.899 Not long into the journey, snow got heavier and deeper. 00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:48.920 Two hours later, there we were stuck five kilometres outside of Charleville in a queue of traffic getting cold. 00:00:49.939 --> 00:00:54.799 My promises of getting us safe home were beginning to look in doubt. 00:00:54.799 --> 00:01:03.119 And as it got darker and we weren't moving, we prepared for a long night. 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:11.620 You see, sometimes what is promised is different from our reality. 00:01:11.620 --> 00:01:22.480 Sometimes there's this massive gap between what God says and what we actually experience. 00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:28.659 Well, that was the situation for God's people in Isaiah 40. 00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:37.620 Isaiah the prophet was forewarning God's people that they would be in troubled times. 00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:42.660 Just go back to chapter 39, verse 5. 00:01:44.939 --> 00:01:50.580 The prophet forewarns the people that troubled times lie ahead. 00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:53.200 Isaiah speaks to the king, verse 5. 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.799 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.340 Hear the word of the Lord Almighty. 00:01:59.219 --> 00:02:10.020 The time will surely come when everything in your palace and all that your predecessors have stored up until this day will be carried off to Babylon. 00:02:11.140 --> 00:02:14.719 Nothing will be left, says the Lord. 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:23.340 Well, it wouldn't be just his possessions, but if we were to read on, we would discover that Babylon, the up-and-coming superpower, 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.300 would take all God's people off into exile. 00:02:28.939 --> 00:02:33.939 But with this word of warning came a wonderful word of promise. 00:02:34.460 --> 00:02:36.000 Chapter 40, verse 1. 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.419 It's almost a don't fear, don't worry. 00:02:40.419 --> 00:02:45.120 Comfort, comfort, my people, says your God. 00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:52.099 Troubled times may come, but I'm going to rescue you and deliver you. 00:02:52.659 --> 00:02:54.800 Chapter 40, verse 10. 00:02:56.740 --> 00:03:01.259 See, the sovereign Lord comes with power. 00:03:02.219 --> 00:03:05.199 And he rules with a mighty arm. 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.859 See, his reward is with him. 00:03:08.139 --> 00:03:11.599 And his recompense accomplishes him. 00:03:12.359 --> 00:03:13.679 There will be blessing. 00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:15.019 Don't worry. 00:03:15.500 --> 00:03:16.899 Don't fear. 00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:23.359 Our sovereign God is going to come and he will bring you back home. 00:03:26.359 --> 00:03:29.060 Well, promises may have been made. 00:03:29.739 --> 00:03:32.539 But reality told a different story. 00:03:32.539 --> 00:03:39.900 What God says and what we experience can seem to be far apart. 00:03:39.900 --> 00:03:48.780 You see, when these difficult days came, when the exile became a reality, the people lost all hope. 00:03:48.780 --> 00:03:59.879 Now, the situation of God's people then is really a picture of God's people like us today. 00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:05.379 Because we're living in some sense in spiritual exile. 00:04:05.379 --> 00:04:09.539 We're far away from our true home. 00:04:09.539 --> 00:04:13.859 Our eternal home with God in his eternal kingdom. 00:04:13.859 --> 00:04:16.519 And we long for that home. 00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:23.000 And when troubles come, we begin to doubt. 00:04:23.740 --> 00:04:26.240 Am I going to make it? 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.439 Can we trust God to do what he says? 00:04:30.799 --> 00:04:35.219 Will he comfort, care for his people? 00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:38.620 Is he going to bring them home? 00:04:40.180 --> 00:04:45.660 Well, let's now turn to the end of Isaiah 40, which we read. 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:47.920 And we're going to look at this. 00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:53.040 Three simple words can summarize what we're going to look at. 00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:58.440 Forgotten, assured, and strengthened. 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:02.040 So here's the first one. 00:05:02.259 --> 00:05:03.060 Forgotten. 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:05.180 Forgotten by God. 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:07.060 Verse 27. 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.120 Why do you complain, Jacob? 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:17.399 Why do you say, Israel, my way is hidden from the Lord? 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.519 My cause is disregarded by my God? 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.699 Has that been your experience over the last year? 00:05:26.699 --> 00:05:31.800 That sometimes it seems that God just doesn't care. 00:05:32.539 --> 00:05:35.639 That my life is hidden from God. 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:40.300 Or that God has run out of all his comfort. 00:05:40.779 --> 00:05:44.939 And my life is disregarded by my God. 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:52.480 What God says, and what we seem to experience, are worlds apart. 00:05:52.480 --> 00:06:00.080 If God is so loving, then why do I have to deal with so many trials in my life? 00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:07.640 And if God were so sovereign and so powerful, then why doesn't he intervene now? 00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:11.400 And end all the heartache and all the trouble. 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:16.279 We feel abandoned. 00:06:17.359 --> 00:06:19.599 We begin to doubt and wonder. 00:06:20.899 --> 00:06:23.399 We stop seeking God. 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.799 We stop praying and reading our Bibles. 00:06:27.060 --> 00:06:29.339 And, well, what's the point? 00:06:30.719 --> 00:06:32.139 My way is hidden. 00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:36.060 My cause is disregarded. 00:06:37.180 --> 00:06:39.120 God no longer sees me. 00:06:39.479 --> 00:06:41.479 He no longer hears me. 00:06:42.939 --> 00:06:47.779 Like the writer of Psalm 42, we cry out, 00:06:48.620 --> 00:06:50.719 I say to God, my rock, 00:06:51.779 --> 00:06:55.360 Why have you forgotten me? 00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:08.960 You see, sometimes the dark realities of life seem to cover over the bright promises of God. 00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:13.720 Will God ever be my helper again? 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:21.040 Can I trust God to keep me in 2025? 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:26.080 Will he bring me home? 00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:34.980 Well, God answers us because he does see and he does hear. 00:07:36.760 --> 00:07:40.439 So second, assured by God. 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:42.340 Look at verse 28. 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:47.340 God responds to the questioning and the complaints 00:07:47.340 --> 00:07:49.820 and says to us, 00:07:49.819 --> 00:07:52.279 Do you not know? 00:07:53.379 --> 00:07:54.980 Have you not heard? 00:07:55.819 --> 00:07:59.920 Do you not remember all that I have said to you? 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.519 Just listen to my words again. 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.199 It's not that God has forgotten us. 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.779 It's we who have forgotten what God has said. 00:08:14.039 --> 00:08:17.879 So what does God say to us in our doubts? 00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:22.639 Well, we're presented with four wonderful truths, 00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:25.560 four wonderful assurances 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:29.379 that will enable us to trust God 00:08:29.379 --> 00:08:31.699 in what lies ahead. 00:08:32.939 --> 00:08:33.860 First, 00:08:34.939 --> 00:08:37.360 God is everlasting. 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:39.200 Verse 28. 00:08:39.659 --> 00:08:40.659 Do you not know? 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:42.559 Have you not heard? 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:46.299 The Lord is the everlasting God. 00:08:47.959 --> 00:08:50.899 No one made God. 00:08:51.619 --> 00:08:53.099 You and I were all made. 00:08:53.239 --> 00:08:54.279 We're all created. 00:08:55.299 --> 00:08:56.039 But God? 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:58.779 Well, God simply exists. 00:08:58.939 --> 00:09:01.699 The very first verse in the Bible tells us, 00:09:02.119 --> 00:09:02.799 in the beginning, 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:04.319 God. 00:09:04.979 --> 00:09:07.379 There was never a time when God was not. 00:09:07.699 --> 00:09:09.699 God is and God always will be. 00:09:09.700 --> 00:09:11.360 He is the everlasting, 00:09:11.660 --> 00:09:13.020 the eternal God. 00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:16.520 Now that means 00:09:16.520 --> 00:09:18.540 His word 00:09:18.540 --> 00:09:20.200 is everlasting. 00:09:21.060 --> 00:09:23.180 Just look back to verse 8. 00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:25.740 Same chapter, 00:09:26.400 --> 00:09:27.160 verse 8. 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.699 The grass withers. 00:09:32.199 --> 00:09:33.919 The flowers fall. 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.959 Everything will rot and decay 00:09:37.959 --> 00:09:39.459 and become no more. 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.419 But the word of our God 00:09:44.419 --> 00:09:48.100 endures forever. 00:09:50.100 --> 00:09:51.679 God is everlasting. 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:51.759 everlasting. 00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:53.739 And that means 00:09:53.739 --> 00:09:54.599 His word 00:09:54.599 --> 00:09:55.779 is everlasting. 00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:57.179 His promises 00:09:57.179 --> 00:09:58.559 are eternal. 00:09:59.859 --> 00:10:00.979 He will not 00:10:00.979 --> 00:10:02.219 fail 00:10:02.219 --> 00:10:03.559 any one of you. 00:10:04.699 --> 00:10:05.599 He will do 00:10:05.599 --> 00:10:06.359 exactly 00:10:06.359 --> 00:10:08.000 what He says. 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:10.539 He will comfort you. 00:10:11.339 --> 00:10:12.899 He will care for you. 00:10:13.779 --> 00:10:15.719 And He will strengthen you. 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.000 So God is 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:18.699 everlasting. 00:10:18.700 --> 00:10:21.460 Next we're told 00:10:21.460 --> 00:10:22.420 that God is 00:10:22.420 --> 00:10:23.060 Creator. 00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:24.660 Follow on in verse 28. 00:10:25.040 --> 00:10:25.980 He is the Creator 00:10:25.980 --> 00:10:26.860 of the ends 00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:27.580 of the earth. 00:10:29.280 --> 00:10:30.580 He made this 00:10:30.580 --> 00:10:31.920 vast universe 00:10:31.920 --> 00:10:32.960 in which we live. 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:34.300 Go outside. 00:10:34.420 --> 00:10:35.320 This is an exercise 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:36.220 for us to do 00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:37.360 on a clear night. 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:39.160 A rare night 00:10:39.160 --> 00:10:40.000 when it's clear. 00:10:40.660 --> 00:10:41.280 And look up 00:10:41.280 --> 00:10:42.160 at the skies. 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:44.280 The nearest planet 00:10:44.280 --> 00:10:45.160 or star 00:10:45.160 --> 00:10:46.000 to us 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:46.440 is 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:47.740 the moon. 00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:50.200 It reflects 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:51.460 the sun's light 00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:52.440 to earth. 00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:53.659 It takes 00:10:53.659 --> 00:10:56.240 about 1.3 seconds 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:57.799 for the light 00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:59.460 to reach earth. 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:01.860 Now if you were 00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:02.340 to look 00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:03.440 further beyond 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.220 you might remember 00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:06.379 Orion's belt. 00:11:06.500 --> 00:11:07.019 You know those 00:11:07.019 --> 00:11:08.180 three stars 00:11:08.180 --> 00:11:09.120 in a row. 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:10.500 Just below that 00:11:10.500 --> 00:11:11.500 is another star 00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:12.600 called Nebula. 00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:14.960 It takes 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:16.740 1600 years 00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:17.419 years 00:11:17.419 --> 00:11:18.700 for the light 00:11:18.700 --> 00:11:19.600 of that star 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.440 to reach 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:22.060 earth. 00:11:23.419 --> 00:11:24.060 Extraordinary. 00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:26.360 Beyond that 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:27.639 there is a cluster 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:28.180 of stars. 00:11:28.419 --> 00:11:29.240 It's almost 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:29.879 kind of 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.120 just like a 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.139 just a mess. 00:11:33.340 --> 00:11:34.019 You can't really 00:11:34.019 --> 00:11:34.539 work out 00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:35.480 what they all are. 00:11:35.860 --> 00:11:36.860 Well it's a galaxy 00:11:36.860 --> 00:11:38.379 called Andromeda. 00:11:39.779 --> 00:11:40.700 Somebody counted. 00:11:40.860 --> 00:11:41.700 I'm not sure how. 00:11:42.259 --> 00:11:44.200 300 billion stars. 00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:46.259 You know how long 00:11:46.259 --> 00:11:47.280 it takes for the light 00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:48.240 to reach from there 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:48.780 to here? 00:11:49.980 --> 00:11:52.100 2.5 million 00:11:52.100 --> 00:11:53.060 years. 00:11:55.060 --> 00:11:56.180 The world 00:11:56.180 --> 00:11:56.820 is big. 00:11:58.220 --> 00:11:58.860 Look at 00:11:58.860 --> 00:11:59.840 verse 25. 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:02.940 To whom
