Summary: Sarah discusses the first 2 of the 4 texts assigned for the week of February 4th, the Fifth Sunday After Epiphany. First, in Isaiah 40:21-31, the prophet tells those who have been exiled that God will give them strength and will not let them falter, despite their having very good reasons to doubt and question. Psalm 147:1-11, 20c is almost a response to the questions raised in the Isaiah text, giving many reasons why God is to be praised, showing how God is present in the universe as well as present to us, in every aspect of our lives.
