Isaiah 40 – Pastor Mac Daily DEVO

To whom then will you liken God, or what likeness compare with him? Isaiah 40:18 – This is a solid question we ought to ask ourselves as we progress through the seasons of life. What is God like? What in our world can we describe Him as? Of course we have earthly things that we can use to describe Him, but they all fall short. Father, like our earthly fathers, but God is far greater than any earthly father. We could use things of nature like wind and thunder to describe Him, but He not only is greater than those things, He controls them. Our passage speaks to such greatness of our God. That He holds the oceans of earth in the cup of hand. That the mightiest of nations are like the dust on a scales, something we count as nothing. What is there then on earth that we can liken our God to? Nothing…and that’s the point. There is nothing and no one like our God. He is greater, stronger, wiser, and more able than anything in all creation. Why is this an important concept about our God to be grounded in? Because in life we need something greater, strong, wiser, and more able than anything in all creation to trust in. We don’t need thunder, we need the God who controls the thunder. We can exist without our earthly fathers, but we can’t exist without our Heavenly Father. We need something more, and we find that in our God. Know today there is a God greater than all other things and this same God desires a life with you. He is working and desires your following of Him. Why follow anything less than the One who is greater than all? I love you, but Jesus loves you more - Mac

Question To Ponder: What is something earthly you can liken God too and how does that thing fall short in it’s comparison?
