We truly need to be reminded
often of the omniscience and omnipotence, and the omnipresence of Almighty God.
Isaiah 40:12-end… “Who has
measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand
marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or
weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance? Who has
understood the mind of the LORD, or instructed him as his counselor? Whom did
the LORD consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way? Who was it
that taught him knowledge or showed him the path of understanding? Surely the
nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are regarded as dust on the scales;
he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust. Lebanon is not sufficient
for altar fires, nor its animals enough for burnt offerings. Before
him all the nations are as nothing; they are regarded by him as worthless and
less than nothing. To whom, then, will you compare God? What image will you
compare him to? As for an idol, a craftsman casts it, and a
goldsmith overlays it with gold and fashions silver chains for it. A man too
poor to present such an offering selects wood that will not rot. He looks for a
skilled craftsman to set up an idol that will not topple. Do you not know? Have
you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not
understood since the earth was founded? He
sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like
grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out
like a tent to live in. He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of
this world to nothing. No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no
sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff. “To whom will you compare me? Or
who is my equal?” says the Holy One. Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the
starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power
and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. Why do you say, O Jacob, and
complain, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by
my God”? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his
understanding no one can fathom. He
gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths
grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew
their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow
weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
“Holy, Holy, Holy” … “Worship His Majesty”
