God's Character is Our Anchor

Commentators explain that this verse is a loving rebuke to a discouraged people. Isaiah calls them to remember what they have already been taught: God is eternal (unchanging), the Creator (all-powerful), never grows weary (inexhaustible), and His wisdom is beyond our full comprehension. These truths are the foundation for unshakable hope, even when circumstances feel bleak.
