The second part of Isaiah opens with wonderful consolation, so contrary to the comfort which the world offers to mankind. "Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God." And then the prophet proceeds to comfort by telling man that he is nothing but grass, and amounts to nothing in himself, but that God's Word and its power is everything, and that all God's power and wisdom and might and knowledge is pledged for those who will trust Him. If one will keep the thought of comfort in mind as he reads that marvelous 40th chapter, he will appreciate the promise at the end: "He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might He increaseth strength." Chapters 41 to 45 are of the same character, pointing out the utter folly and weakness of idolatry, and the power and wisdom of God. Deliverance from Babylon is suggested in the prophecies concerning Cyrus, and the far greater deliverance in the predictions concerning our Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalms 63, 64, and 65 conclude the week's readings.
