Isaiah 26:4, “Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:”

 

Three times in a verse of fifteen words God uses His personal, self-revealing name YHWH. Jehovah is the God who frequently reveals Himself to us through difficult circumstances. Often God will allow us to hit rock bottom in order for us to better understand and experience His ‘everlasting strength,’ which in Hebrew is literally ‘Rock of Ages.’ Jesus Christ is that Rock in a world of sinking sand. Don’t allow the tyranny of today’s tasks to turn you away from trusting in the personal, unchanging, self-existent, self-sufficient Rock of Ages. Perfect peace is there for those who trust Him, regardless of the outlook, and all the way to the end. Since His strength is everlasting, our trust should be, too.
