Scripture:
“Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.” — Isaiah 40:26
Today’s Devotional
Some nights, when the sky is clear, it’s impossible not to feel small.
Billions of stars stretch across a vast universe, and we realize how fragile and temporary our lives seem. It’s the same feeling Isaiah’s audience knew—God’s people were weary, displaced, and uncertain whether He still saw them.
But Isaiah reminds them: the God who created every star knows each one by name—and not one is missing.
If He keeps track of galaxies, how much more does He care for you?
When we feel insignificant or unseen, God whispers, “I see you.”
He renews the strength of the tired and lifts the hearts of the discouraged.
Our smallness isn’t a problem to God—it’s the very space where His greatness shines.
The same hands that flung stars into the sky hold your life with care and purpose.
You are not forgotten. You are known.
Reflect & Pray
Reflect:
When was the last time you felt small or overlooked?
How does knowing God’s vastness—and His care for you—change your perspective?
Pray:
Creator God, when I feel lost or insignificant, remind me of Your power and love.
Lift my eyes to see Your glory and renew my strength to trust You again.
Thank You for knowing me by name. Amen.
Today’s Insight
Isaiah 40 was written to weary exiles who doubted God’s attention.
By pointing them to the stars, Isaiah revealed that divine power and intimate care are not opposites—they coexist perfectly in God.
Verse 31 closes the passage with a promise: “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.”
In every season of weakness, God’s strength is not only available—it’s personal.
