Dear Church Family, What comes to your mind when you think about God? I read Isaiah 40 today and, right in the middle of the chapter, Isaiah asks an important question. “To whom then will you liken God, or what likeness compare with him?” (Isaiah 40:18 ESV) We often think about God’s power and might. Most of the chapter talks about His great power and majesty. I love this reminder about the great nations of the earth.
God is so much greater than all of these nations, that they aren’t just called tiny or small, but less than nothing. God’s greatness goes way beyond even this, though! His control and power extends to all of creation. In verse 22 God is described as stretching out the heavens like a curtain and spreading them out like a tent to dwell in. Later, God asks this:
It’s clear that God is all-powerful and that nothing is outside of His control. In light of this, though, comes the question, “Does this amazing God care about me?” It’s a fitting question, because the universe is so big and we are so little. We are so undeserving of His care and love, especially because of how deeply we have sinned against this great God. That’s why I love this reminder, right in the middle of this amazing praise of God’s greatness.
The God of the universe loves you! Yes, He is great, but He is also a shepherd. He is all powerful, but He is also gentle and gathers His children and carries them close to His chest. Today, remember how much God cares for you! –Pastor Dave —————————————————————————————– What’s Happening at Gospel Life:No Youth Group: We’re taking off this Sunday for Father’s Day, but will be back on Sunday, June 22nd.
