Isaiah 63
If you’ve been around here long – and, if you have, thank you! – you’ve heard me say that one of the ways I study Scripture is to work backwards.
In this chapter, for instance, the latter portion asks the same question three times. And, it’s one we have all – in dark moments – asked.
Where is he? (v 11)
Where is he? (v 11)
Where is your zeal and might? (v 15)
Where are you, Lord??
I can’t see you. I can’t feel you.
What are we to do in those moments?
In the verses leading up to those questions – Isaiah remembers all that he knows to be true of the Lord.
👉 We have to know what is true of God before the battle. What we see in the light – we remember in the dark.
WHEN WE CAN’T SEE – WE REMEMBER (v 7-9):
• the love of the Lord
• the Lord is worthy of praise
• the Lord’s goodness
• the Lord’s compassion
• the Lord’s saving power
• the Lord’s presence is not dependent on our ability to see him
• the Lord has pity on the broken
• the Lord offers redemption
• the Lord has lifted us in the past
• the Lord is able to carry us through anything

Even when I don’t see it – you’re working
Even when I don’t feel it – you’re working
You never stop – you never stop working
