Sometimes when we think about the infinite majesty and unsearchable greatness of our Sovereign God, we are so swallowed up by the ineffableness of His character and being that we begin to feel insignificant. We may feel a little like Jane Crofut must have felt in the play, "Our Town," when she received a letter addressed: "Jane Crofut; The Crofut Farm; Grover's Corners; Sutton County; New Hampshire; United States of America; North America; Western Hemisphere; the Earth; the Solar System; the Universe; the Mind of God." How can a God who changes the times and seasons, a God who controls the ebb and flow of history, be concerned about the problems I face in my everyday existence?
When God gave Isaiah the incredible revelation of Isaiah 40, which gives us a tiny glimpse of the greatness of our God, He included verse 11. "He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young." Our God wants us to recognize that while He is the One "Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, measured heaven with a span and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure," He is, at the same time, our shepherd who knows the struggles of the young sheep and those who have special needs. David in his song of praise and deliverance wants to remind us of this fact too! This is why he included these verses in his psalm. I. God's Treatment of the Righteous and the Wicked (v. 15-16) II. God's Special Care for the Righteous (v. 17-19)
