GOD has no equal.

Isaiah 40:25&26
"25 To whom then will ye liken Me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold Who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calleth them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one faileth."

We are in Isaiah chapter forty making our way to what is one Isaiah's most famous verse of ALL! So far Isaiah asked sarcastic questions to idolaters, which he answers; knowing the object of their worship is FAKE. Next, Isaiah confirms that God is sovereign of the entire earth and to GOD the inhabitants of earth are like grasshoppers! Then he explains what happens to our rulers and kings; their wealth, their dignity, and their influence by GOD'S hand is reduced to nothing. Our leaders and rulers are no better than the rest of us. We are all like grasshoppers and time will take us away just as it took the cultures that came before us. All that we know will be blown away in the "whirlwind" of time. Only GOD will remain, forever and ever! 

GOD has no equal! The greatest people the earth has know are brought to nothing by Him! Today's verses; "To whom then will ye liken Me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. Lift up YOUR EYES on high, and behold Who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calleth them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one faileth."

GOD is transcendent. GOD is our Creator and Redeemer! And! He says "Lift up YOUR EYES on high, and behold..." GOD wants you and me to look upward, and consider all the evidences of the power and wisdom of GOD! Would you spend one hour watching the evidence of the conditions on Earth that allow for intelligent life and also make it a strangely well suited place for viewing and analyzing the universe.... watch The Privileged Planet:

to be taller

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

praise Him

Luke 1:51-53 "51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." This is Mary's Magnificat. Beginning with verse forty-six Mary's responds to Elizabeth’s blessing is EPIC! In this poem Mary praises GOD for His blessing to her and His faithfulness to Israel.  Mary's Magnificat also highlights a series of reversals in which the proud are humbled and the humble are exalted! Which we read in today's verses; "He hath shewed STRENGTH with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and EXALTED them of low degree. He hath FILLED the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." We should marvel at GOD'S choice of this poor young girl to be the m...
