Our doubts – God’s response - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2025

Why do you say …: My way is hidden from the Lord, and my just claim is passed over by my God?
Isaiah 40:27

Our doubts – God’s response
In today’s Bible passage, God reveals the thoughts that creep into our hearts when difficult situations enter our lives: “My way is hidden from the Lord, and my just claim is passed over by my God.” In other words, we are saying, “God isn’t interested in my problems and isn’t helping me in my need.” As a result, we may feel abandoned by Him.

God first addresses such doubting thoughts in Isaiah 40:28 by asking two questions: “Have you not known? Have you not heard?” They remind us that although He has spoken, we have clearly not been listening. Through these questions He speaks to us again. Are we willing to listen to Him? He is still speaking to us today through the Bible.

After God has awakened our willingness to listen to Him, He introduces Himself: “The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.” Thus, in a time of distress, He draws our attention to Himself so that we may believe and trust in Him.

Although He is an eternal God, He has a personal relationship with us who live in space and time. As Creator, He cares about us and our well-being. He never grows tired in His care for us. His wisdom guides every circumstance in our lives.

Isn’t He worthy of our trust?
