Isaiah 40:27-28. “Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God? Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God,THE LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, either is weary? there is no searching of His understanding.”
The names Jacob and Israel both refer to Judah, to whom this passage is spoken. How could they believe that their doings were hidden from God? We simply cannot hide from Him; not our behaviors, not our thoughts, not the innermost secrets of our hearts.
Three names are given to God in verse 28: Everlasting God (Elohim, the triune God), THE LORD (Jehovah the Eternal), and Creator (Ecc. 12:1; Rom. 1:25; I Pet. 4:19). He never grows faint, never wearies, never can be understood by our finite minds. When we try to limit God to our own understanding, we are foolish indeed.
