Isaiah 40, 41: I am just blown away with how awesome God is. I taught yesterday that one of the reasons we can trust God is because of who He is. These were not the verses I used, but oh how they could have been.
Isaiah 40:12 “Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?a measure:
13Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him?his…: Heb. man of his counsel
14With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
15Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.”
Do you see the picture of what He has said. He measures all of the waters that cover the earth in the hollow of His hands. WOW! He takes His hand and the distance between his pinkie finger and this thumb is the distance of the heavens. He weighs the mountains on a scale. He has all wisdom and knowledge He needs no counselor and no one is even qualified to give Him advice. All the nations are a drop in a bucket to Him. We serve a huge God and yet He loves us and cares for us. Oh friend, I hope you are as overwhelmed with God as I am this morning, and the sweetest thing of all is He allows us to worship Him. I praise Him. My tongue cannot speak enough words of thanksgiving for all He has done for me.
