In Chapter 40, verses 28 through 31 of the Book of Isaiah, the author’s focus has moved from a critique of Israel’s waywardness to comfort and encouragement. The Jewish Rabbis called this part of the prophecy, the Book of Consolations, believing that Isaiah was seeking to comfort the Jewish remnant in Babylon after their years of captivity and to assure them that God has not left them or forgotten them.  The prophet is reminding the people of God in every generation, despite what we are experiencing, of the worth of waiting on God. This sermon tells us why.
