Chaplain’s Corner: I Did Not Know That! Have you ever spoken that phrase? Or has someone
know, remember? The answers are given after the questions are asked. Verse 21 becomes even more pointed in the questioning to remind the people. “… Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He(God) sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, its people are like grasshoppers.” Verse 28, “….The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding, no one can fathom.” We have some wonderful reminders from these scriptures for us also when questions and doubts come into our minds about the power of God to work in our circumstances. He is mighty and powerful and is above watching and being involved in the world and our lives. He is the creator, so He can do anything He believes is necessary in His creation. He will not get tired in His involvement of the earth and our lives. He has understanding that is not comprehendible to us. Please find great hope and comfort in these reminders that we are given. Let us also encourage and remind one another of these truths. Perhaps we should with smiles on our faces turn to each other when questions of God’s working arise and say in joy, “Do you not know? Have you not heard?” We can then respond, Yes we do know and have heard the Lord is the Everlasting God!
spoken to you in an excited or unbelieving way, “I did not know that” after you shared some knowledge or news unfamiliar to them? We perhaps have said
and received those words many times in our lives. I frequently say the phrase when talking with my parents as they explain an extended family news item that missed my attention. I maybe should have known the news, but unfortunately, I have to say. “I did not know that.” When working on things mechanical or computer issues, more often than I care to admit I must tell my sons who graciously help me, “I did not know that” as they explain or show me a way to fix my car or a computer issue. The humbling thing is they know I do not know even before I tell them or even before they begin to help me. Sometimes though, I have been told before, but I have forgotten. Computer procedures can be that way for me when they go beyond the day-to-day work. I will be shown a method and unfortunately will forget how it is done when I run into the same issue a few months down the calendar. I must again be reminded of the information to help me do what I need to accomplish. Isaiah 40 verses 21 & 28 ask the readers a question “Do you not know? Have you not heard?” It is used as a reminder I believe when questions and doubts came into the hearts and minds of the people Isaiah was writing to. Yes, you do
