Isa 40:6-7 | MHM | STEP | v. 6–8 : The passage teaches us to trust in God’s word and not rely on people or things that do not last. All people are like grass—fragile and temporary—but God’s word stands forever (Isaiah 40:8 ). This means we should not be afraid of powerful enemies, or trust in human help, because only God’s promises are sure. God uses difficult times to show us that only he can truly save us. Peter later quotes this when he writes, The word which by the gospel is preached unto us… lives and abides for ever (1 Peter 1:23-25 ). We must realize that everything in this world is temporary, but God’s promises give us eternal hope.
