Over - over again God proves the reliability of His word. In so doing it comforts - encourages His people. Strengthens - fortiBies the faith of His people. - Often the way God-proves the reliability of His word is by informing us of things we would not know, in fact could not know if He hadn't told us. -We call it prophecy-.

Paul wrote to Timothy, "Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen."1 There is a sense in which Isaiah 45 is saying/showing in historical narrative form, what Paul summed up in a single sentence in 1 Tim 1:17.

I'm just going to trust that the book of Isaiah has brought both blessing, - times of refreshing to your spirit. - -God's word is always right on time. It has this way -proverbially-speaking- of lifting us up by our lapels, slapping us around a little bit, -or splashing some -proverbial- cold water right in our faces- - snapping us back into reality.
