All I can say is wow. I read Is. 40 over breakfast, and since I am early today, I just felt like writing a little. My first thoughts are of vss. 6 - 8:
"...All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, but the word of our God shall stand forever."
Talk about a little perspective! It humbled me for sure.
For me and for many of you as well, vs. 31 is very familiar, and is a great piece of encouragement in itself. That said, I would encourage anyone to read from verse 12 through 31 as a whole. I feel it adds even more to that last verse. That section of Scripture speaks of the majesty of God. It reminds me a little of Job 38. Something else I noticed: immediately preceding the majesty of God is verse 11:
"He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young."
What a picture of the many dimensions of our God! I think I'll amend a previous statement and recommend the entire chapter. It has blessed me to read it this morning, and I hope it will you as well, should you have the opportunity to read it yourself.

BTW: Since I went to Ohio this weekend and saw very few of my KS friends, I feel like I must start a very large campaign to weasel all of you guys to come to Michigan next month. Most people would say "no pressure", I say "the pressure is ON." :P
