10 JAN 23 Tuesday: A Closer Walk Devotional
“To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal? Asks the Holy One. Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding.” Isaiah 40:25, 28
There are times in our life that things get so overwhelming that we lose sight of reality. We can become consumed with our pain, sorrow, suffering or even our ambitions. Our focus is on those things and our desires to be satisfied in some capacity. We search for answers within and come up short remaining in want.
The Christian faith understands that the answer is not inside us because we are broken sinners without the ability to choose the right way. The answer is outside of us in the person of Jesus Christ who makes us fully satisfied and complete. Isaiah knows that we have to look to the One that is incomparable and is capable of fixing us and saving us. Who else can do it besides Jesus? No one. He is the creator of heaven and earth. He is the author and finisher of our faith.
Have you lost sight of the way because of your problems or ambition?
Lord, we get derailed in life by our suffering and even for our desire for success. We are left dissatisfied and wanting. You Lord are good and great. You have loved us from before the foundation of the world and give us lasting satisfaction when you come into our lives. There is none like you and you are capable of handling any issue or pursuit of our hearts. Bless us with more of you and help us not to lose sight of you. Amen.
