In Isaiah 40:1-31, God's called-out saints are assured that while they, in their mortal framework are as fragile as grass, Almighty God is eternally powerful and can provide strength to the weary and fainthearted who repent of their carnality and seek His guidance. God is especially protective and mindful to those who are poor in spirit and tremble before His word. If we should ever esteem ourselves better than others, assuming positions of greatness, as several of Jesus disciples had done, we forget that God wants us to behave as children, remembering it is only by the grace of God we have been given the opportunity to serve. Often, as God's called-out saints, we see people who have not yet been called exercise greater trust in Almighty God than we do, such as Desmond Doss, the conscientious objector hero on Hacksaw Ridge. We need to remember that (1) We have spent a lifetime doing the will of the Gentiles, from which God has mercifully called us, (2) Our sanctification will involve suffering and testing, (3) Our trustworthiness will not be consistent, and occasionally (4) Pride in our calling or spiritual gifts may become a blind spot in our spiritual growth. Even King Hezekiah, described as more righteous than even King David, stumbled. But Almighty God, like a protective Father, is always ready to pick us up, enabling us to soar like eagles.
