Isa 46:4 | MHM | STEP | v. 4 : God wants Israel to remember that he has cared for them from the very beginning. I have made you and carried you from the womb ( Isaiah 46:3–4 ). God formed Israel as a nation, protected them when they were small and defenseless, and has always been gentle and kind, even when they acted foolishly or stubbornly. He carried them as a loving parent carries a child, just like he did when he brought them out of Egypt (Exodus 19:4; Deuteronomy 32:11 ). God’s care has never stopped; it continues to this day. This is true for all believers—God’s grace keeps us going, just as his providence gives us life. Many of God’s people have found comfort in knowing that he has cared for them since birth (Psalm 22:9–10; 71:5–6, 17 ). God promises that he will never abandon his people, even in old age. Even to your old age I am he ( Isaiah 46:4 ). When Israel is weak and needs help, God will still be there. He does not change, even if they do. The same God who supported them in the past will continue to carry them, bear their troubles, and deliver them from danger. He will bring them out of Babylon, just as he once brought them out of Egypt (Deuteronomy 33:27 ). This promise is not just for Israel as a nation, but for every believer, especially those who are elderly or feel weak. Even when others may lose patience, God will always remain faithful, supporting and comforting his people until the end.

‏ Isaiah 46:4

v. 4: God wants Israel to remember that he has cared for them from the very beginning. I have made you and carried you from the womb (Isaiah 46:3–4 ^a). God formed Israel as a nation, protected them when they were small and defenseless, and has always been gentle and kind, even when they acted foolishly or stubbornly. He carried them as a loving parent carries a child, just like he did when he brought them out of Egypt (Exodus 19:4; Deuteronomy 32:11 ^b). God’s care has never stopped; it continues to this day. This is true for all believers—God’s grace keeps us going, just as his providence gives us life. Many of God’s people have found comfort in knowing that he has cared for them since birth (Psalm 22:9–10; 71:5–6, 17 ^c).

God promises that he will never abandon his people, even in old age. Even to your old age I am he (Isaiah 46:4 ^d). When Israel is weak and needs help, God will still be there. He does not change, even if they do. The same God who supported them in the past will continue to carry them, bear their troubles, and deliver them from danger. He will bring them out of Babylon, just as he once brought them out of Egypt (Deuteronomy 33:27 ^e). This promise is not just for Israel as a nation, but for every believer, especially those who are elderly or feel weak. Even when others may lose patience, God will always remain faithful, supporting and comforting his people until the end.
