“Have you not known? Have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? There is no searching of His understanding.”
Sometimes, as it was with Israel at the time that Isaiah wrote, His people forget how powerful and majestic God is. This verse gives us an apt description of the God that we serve. First, He is described as the “everlasting God.” This means that He is eternal. He has just always been – period. Please don’t ask me to explain this, just accept it as the eternality of God. Second, He is described as the “the Lord.” Without getting bogged down in the definitions of Hebrew words for “Lord,” let’s just accept that it means that He has complete authority in all creation and in our lives. Jesus is described as “Lord” in our lives in the New Testament. Third, He is described as “the creator of the ends of the earth.” This means that everything that we see around us did not just happen. His creation is described in Genesis 1-3. He created the entire universe by His word. One might ask, “now how could He do that?” Well, He is the everlasting God, and if He wanted to do that He could – which He did. He is our creator. The functions of our human bodies describe the creativity of God. Fourth, He is described as One who “does not faint, neither is weary.” This means that our everlasting God does not give up, neither does He grow tired. God has always been and He will always be. He is not going to grow weary of us. I guess I stand as an illustration of this. He has not given up on me, and continues to work in my life. It is, no doubt, the same in your life. He will neither leave nor forsake us. Fifth, He is described as One of whom “there is no searching of His understanding.” This means that God is all-wise. There is no end to His knowledge and understanding. There is nothing that He does not know about you and me, but He loves us anyway. Well, this is God’s description of Himself. I hope that it will convict, challenge and encourage you. Bro. Joe
