God’s Resume Is Bigger Than Your Situation
“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary.” - Isaiah 40:28
Fear usually shows up when the problem feels larger than your ability to handle it. Pressure narrows your focus. All you can see is what is right in front of you: the bill, the diagnosis, the tension, the uncertainty. In those moments, God can start feeling small, not because He changed, but because your attention did. Isaiah speaks into that exact mindset and pulls the eyes of weary people back to who God has always been.
It helps to notice what Isaiah does not do. He does not minimize the struggle. He does not pretend the situation is easy. Instead, he reminds the people of God’s history. Creator of everything. Everlasting. Never tired. Never worn down. Fear shrinks when memory grows. Circumstances lose some of their weight when you remember the kind of God you are dealing with.
Most anxiety comes from staring too long at the problem. Your thoughts rehearse worst-case scenarios. Your emotions start predicting outcomes that have not happened. Perspective collapses under pressure. That is why Scripture so often calls people to remember. Not remember the problem, but remember God’s track record. He has handled far bigger things than the one sitting in front of you right now.
Think about how often fear assumes God is limited by time, energy, or resources. Isaiah pushes against that assumption directly. God does not get tired. He does not run out of wisdom. He is not overwhelmed by complexity. Nothing about your situation has surprised Him. Nothing has stretched Him thin. While you may feel exhausted, He is steady.
This shift changes how you carry what you are facing. The problem does not disappear, but it stops sitting on the throne. Trust grows when you stop asking whether God can handle it and start remembering who He is. Your situation has details. God has a resume. One is temporary. The other is eternal.
If fear has been loud lately, slow down and rehearse the truth. Speak out what you know about God, not just what you feel about your circumstances. Let His history reset your perspective. The size of the problem has not changed, but your view of God can. And when that happens, fear no longer gets the final word.

I REALLY needed that reminder regarding MY God is bigger than what I'm facing. I've witnessed how God blessed me while I was walking through the VALLEY of darkness. He blessed me right in front of family and friends who wanted me to perish. So, THANK YOU for the reminder. Peace & Continue Blessings!!! -Vanessa
