Isaiah 40:18-26

"To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to Him?"

The Lord asks Judah.. and us.. to compare Him to any other god... 

An idol, made by a man's hand, even covered by gold or silver, or hand cut out of wood and magnificently carved into a beautiful image - is still.. nothing.   Psalm 115: 4-8 says it this way:

"Their idols are mere silver and gold,

made by human hands.

They have mouths, but they can't speak;

they have eyes, but they can't see;

they have ears, but they can't hear;

they have noses, but they can't smell;

they have hands, but they can't feel;

they have feet, but they can't walk;

with their throats they can't make a sound. 

The people who make them will become like them,

along with everyone who trust is them."

"Do you not know? Have you not heard?" The Lord says, "Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He who sits above the vault of the earth..." 

God is so great that we "are like grasshoppers" in His sight... smaller than that, I would think...

God is so great.. that rulers are reduced to nothing and judges are meaningless. "Scarcely have they been planted, scarcely have they been sown, scarcely has their stock taken root in the earth, but He merely blows on them and they wither, and the storm carries them away like stubble." 

"To whom then will you liken Me that I should be his equal? says the Holy One." 

"Lift up your eyes on high

and see who has created these stars,

The One who leads forth their host by number,

He calls them all by name;

Because of the greatness of His might

and the strength of His power

Not one of them is missing."

Father in heaven, our Great and Mighty God, You are our Creator who has revealed Yourself to us.. mere men and women.  How amazing that You would love us.  That You would send Jesus to redeem us from our sin. How amazing that You have given us precious promises and a future inheritance that is beyond our understanding. I lift my eyes to You, O Lord.. to trust You, to worship You, and to obey Your Word.  Fill our hearts and minds with Your Truth.  Spirit of God, lead us nearer to the Father's heart..  we pray, in Jesus' name. Amen.
