GOD is the Magnificent, the Awesome Creator

Isaiah 40:12-18 GOD is the Magnificent, the Awesome Creator; vast, infinite, unfathomable, the Instructor. No human has ever invented anything. They have only ever made discoveries as the hand of GOD rests on the shoulder those making the discovery.

GOD is so magnificent and awesome that even His pure creation is not pure enough to show the true beauty and picture of GOD.
We cannot serve the creation rather than the Creator. There is nothing we can compare GOD to.

40:19-20 Special craftsman will make an image to compare to GOD with silver and gold. A poor man will carve a block of wood to represent GOD. But peoples efforts cannot compare to GOD. We cannot measure GOD and yet we think that we have power. Pontius Pilate asked JESUS, "Do you know I have power over you?" Pharoah asked, " Who is GOD that I should fear Him?"

40:22-24 How did these rulers get their power? Because they are in power, does that enable them to retain their power? NO!
GOD set them up and He will tear them down when He is done with them. Our human view is so finite, that things seem immovable, indestructible, and impossible— yet to GOD things can't even be planted and take root, before they are torn out and die!

We congratulate ourselves on some great accomplishment for mankind— and yet to GOD it is just a microscopic spec of GOD and who He is!

40:25-26 People complain that GOD is not listening, and is not hearing us; not taking care of us. We need to ask ourselves— are we looking to an idol or to GOD. If we are complaining— we are making an idol of our circumstances and problems, by saying nothing is happening— when in fact, we are looking to an idol (worry, doubt, anger), rather than trusting in the Maker of Heaven & Earth!

40:31 Humans are always limited by their idols. But when we put our hope in the LORD, He gives strength to the weary, that no one can fathom. There will be no limitations or weakness, but they will rise up with wings as eagles!

41:1-4 The world has been divided into two parts: western and eastern. God stirs up one from the east (Christ the Savior, was foretold to have come from the east, Behold we saw a star from the east) to serve in righteousness. Pontius Piolate said, " don't you know I have power over you?" But actually, earthly kings have only the power afforded to them by GOD. JESUS pursues the power before HIm and subdues it, inviting all people of all time to come to Him for salvation.

41:8-12 The LORD has called us, the LORD's people to spread the Gospel to everyone. He has chosen His people to be the vehicle to accomplish this and will not reject us. Do not be afraid, I am GOD. I will uphold you with My righteous power and strength. All who rage against you will surely be ashamed. You will have enemies, you will have trials, but I will be with you. My strength will be with you. Your enemies will be destroyed.
