Today's Scripture
Isaiah 40:10-11, 29-31

Sitting in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit, I visited with a mother as her newborn baby cuddled up against her chest. In this technologically advanced medical facility, the doctors had recommended a very low-tech “prescription” to improve and strengthen the child’s health—the new mom was to spend extended periods of time simply holding her daughter.

There’s almost nothing like the overwhelming love and tender compassion of a parent providing healing comfort for a child. We see this powerful imagery in the prophet Isaiah’s description of God with His people.

Even after prophesying impending exile for the nation of Israel because they’d rejected God (Isaiah 39:5-7), Isaiah emphasized to the people that God still loved them and would always provide for them. God’s tender compassion and secure care is evident in the beautiful metaphor where He is described as a shepherd who, much like a loving father, gathers His sheep “in his arms and carries them close to his heart” (40:11).

God’s presence grants us peace and protection and reminds us that He carries us close to His heart, like a newborn baby with its mother. As He “gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak” (v. 29), the Spirit’s healing comfort allows us to meet the challenges of each day.

Reflect & Pray

What comes to mind when you think about the love of a mother for her newborn baby? How has God’s protective and loving care strengthened you?

My sister ask me if I knew the history of "It is well with my soul". So I looked it up and found this story.

The hymn "It Is Well with My Soul" was written by Horatio Spafford in 1873 after a series of personal tragedies, including the death of his young son and the loss of his business in the Great Chicago Fire. Later that year, his wife and four daughters were on a ship to Europe when it was struck by another vessel and sank, with only his wife surviving. While sailing to meet them, the captain informed Spafford he was passing over the spot where his daughters drowned, and it was then that he penned the hymn's lyrics, a testament to his unwavering faith in God amidst sorrow. The hymn was later set to music by Philip Bliss and published in 1876.
