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:

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
