Isaiah 40
Pancakes and maple syrup are one of my favorites for breakfast. Much of the maple syrup that we buy today is made from imitation flavorings. The real maple syrup is more expensive, but it has twice the flavor. Real maple syrup is made by collecting the sap from maple trees in the spring. As the sun begins to warm the tree tops and melt the snow the dormant tree is renewed. A hunger for growth causes the tree to absorb the melting snow and nutrients. The sap is collected and boiled down to make sweet syrup. The people were confronted with the darkness of their sin in the beginning chapters of Isaiah, but then in Isaiah 40 there is a change and God offers hope. In this chapter we see that hope for the future is based on what god provides. Hope operates with a correct belief about God and a current trust in God who provides the rest. Isaiah notes that rest is found when we trust God to renew us in life’s darkest moments.
