Isaiah 41
Isaiah continue with the idea of the nations renewing strength in the Lord from Isaiah 40.29-31. we continue with the them of 'Who is God?' in Isaiah 40. Notice the subject 'I' refers to the almighty God. Here are some examples of verse to meditate on: verse 4 '...I, the Lord-with the first of them and with the last- I am he.' Notice the phrase 'do not fear' in in verse 10: So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. in verse 13 For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. 14 Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I myself will help you," declares the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. God was speaking to the people of Judah o comfort them, but even today with uncertainty and hopelessness we can cling to the words that God spoke here: DO NOT FEAR.
The Lord Almighty is also speaking of the future when the Messianic Kingdom will be established: verse 17-20, where the desert will turn into pools of waters, put the cedar acacia , the myrtle and the olive in the desert. (Isaiah 35.7)
A remarkable prophecy occur some 100 years before it happened. God spoke about someone from the north who would rescue the thread on rulers including the Babylonians (v. 25). We will speak more aboyt Cyrus later.

Isaiah 41 with Commentaries, verse by verse
Psalm 55 with Commentaries, verse by verse
Psalm 55.1-23
This psalm is a prayer of David for God's help when he faced a conspiracy in Jerusalem which was under the leadership of a former friend. The situation described is like that of the conspiracy of Absalom conspiracy against his father. We can imagine David felt betrayal, disappointment and mistrust when he heard about this conspiracy. The verse that spoke to me is verse 22: Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
