Isaiah 26:4–Trust in the Lord

Isaiah 26:4–"Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock."

This is as much a promise as it is a commandment.  We trust in the Lord because He is an everlasting rock.  In other words, we trust in the Lord because of who He is.  His is the Lord, the Creator of all the vastness of the universe and yet still personal enough to enter into His creation through His Son, Jesus. It is remarkable to recognize that we can rely upon God because He is, after all, God.  This is, it turns out, both amazingly liberating as well as formative to how we would do life.  Therefore, let us not forget the great truth of this verse as it strengthens and secures our every day.
