Isaiah gives us one of the Bible's most magnificent presentations of God's identity. The prophet portrays Yahweh as the Creator of the heavens and the earth. He casts vibrant word pictures onto his canvas, laying before us God's vastness, wisdom, power and incomparability. In doing so he inspires people of faith to look beyond our circumstances, to still our questions, and to trust the Incomparable God who holds all that exists in the palm of his hand. Isaiah calls us toward a faith which is secure enough to endure hardships with unrelenting hope.
