Isa
40:25-26 (ESV)
25 To whom then will you compare me,
that I
should be like him? says the Holy One.
26 Lift
up your eyes on high and see:
who
created these?
He who brings out their host by number,
calling
them all by name,
by the
greatness of his might,
and
because he is strong in power
not one
is missing.
NOTE: My problem is
that I put God on a human scale, just much greater, but that is a fallacy. God
cannot be compared to anyone, or really any imagined one, because our
imagination would fall so far short of his glory, holiness, immensity, wisdom,
and power--and I think I left quite a few attributes off that I also could not find a comparison. I can't comprehend how he thinks. I can't out-think him or out-argue
him (although many seem to think that if God does exist, they will engage him at death in verbal arguments for which he will have no answer -- how very foolish!). So
what can I do? I can obey. I can trust Him. I can believe him at his word.
Actually, anything less than those three really is foolishness (if God exists).
But I believe, I know in my heart that he does exist. I have experiencedthe
life changing presence of the Holy Spirit, and the change which Jesus wrought
in my heart when I first put my faith in him. I know him experiential-ly in an
extremely small way, but what I know overwhelms me.
