9. What is God Like? …you thought I was altogether
like you. But I will rebuke
you and accuse you
to your face.
Psalm 50:21

10. 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?
Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord,
or instruct the Lord as his counselor?
Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him,
and who taught him the right way?
Who was it that taught him knowledge,
or showed him the path of understanding?
Isaiah 40:12-14

12. With whom, then, will you compare God?
To what image will you liken him?
"To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One.
Isaiah 40:18, 25

14. As for an idol, a metalworker casts it,
and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
and fashions silver chains for it.
A person too poor to present such an offering
selects wood that will not rot;
they look for a skilled worker
to set up an idol that will not topple.
Isaiah 40:19-20

15. Before the Christian church goes into eclipse anywhere… she simply gets a wrong answer to the question “What is God like?”

21. • The Creator is Greater than CREATION!
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his and 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

22. • His Kingdom is Greater than the NATIONS!
Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are regarded as dust on the scales; he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust. v. 15

23. • He Rules the RULERS!
He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing. v. 23

24. • He Names the STARS!
Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. v. 26
