Isaiah 40:4-5

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Isaiah 40:4-5. And the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain? and the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

That is the great purpose and end of nature, of providence, and of grace, that the glory of the Lord may be revealed. It is revealed; but many men do not see it. Yet it is God’s purpose that all flesh shall see it together." Do we all see it, clear friends? Are we not far too apt to take glory to ourselves, and to make out that we are strong, that we are wise? Ah! Too often, that is the case, so it is the Lord’s work to put an end to all that folly, so that nothing shall remain but the glory of the Lord, that all flesh may see it, and see nothing else.
