Who is Like Our God?
“Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance?”
—Isaiah 40:12
There is no comparison between God and man. We measure in increments, in teaspoons and yards, in hours and days. But God? He holds the immeasurable in His hands. The vast oceans, the endless stretch of the heavens—these are but a whisper of His power. He alone is limitless in wisdom, seeing the end from the beginning, orchestrating the grand tapestry of time with flawless precision.
Yet, how often do we approach Him as if He needs our counsel? We analyze, strategize, and then, with the confidence of a child offering advice to a master architect, we present our solutions. We expect Him to follow our carefully laid-out steps, only to discover that His ways are beyond our comprehension. He is not slow, nor is He ignoring us—He is weaving together something far greater than our momentary concerns.
The rulers of this world may appear powerful, their voices loud, their influence vast. But compared to the Almighty, they are like a grain of sand, a fleeting vapor. Nations rise and fall at His command. His wisdom is unsearchable, His strength unfailing, His purposes eternal. There is none like Him.
A Single Image to Consider
Imagine a master weaver at a grand loom, threading intricate patterns with colors unseen to the eye. A single thread may seem insignificant, a mistake even, when viewed up close. But step back, and a masterpiece emerges. So it is with the wisdom of God—what appears uncertain to us is being woven into something glorious beyond measure.
