The Greatness of God

Isaiah 40:12-26:

When you think of God, what comes to mind? Often, people view Him in the way that best fits their particular need or situation. For example, a person who struggles with guilt might focus on the Lord’s forgiveness or holiness. And someone with a thirst for justice might dwell on the Almighty’s righteousness.

= God is greater than creation:

Isa. 40:12

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?

=  He is higher than the nations or any idol fashioned by the finest craftsman:

 Isa. 40:17-20

Before him all the nations  are as nothing;
 they are regarded by him as worthless
 and less than nothing.
    With whom, then, will you compare God?
 To what image  will you liken him?
    As for an idol,  a metalworker casts it,
 and a goldsmith  overlays it with gold
 and fashions silver chains for it.
    A person too poor to present such an offering
 selects wood  that will not rot;
 they look for a skilled worker
 to set up an idol  that will not topple.

=  He is above the world and all mankind:

Isa. 40:22-23

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.

=  Our Father’s thoughts and ways are far grander than our own

Isa. 55:9

As the heavens are higher than the earth,
 so are my ways higher than your ways
 and my thoughts than your thoughts.
