GLIMPSES OF THE GREAT GOD: DAY SEVEN

"To whom, then, will you compare God?

What image will you compare Him to? ......

Do you not know, have you not heard?

Has it not been told you from the beginning?

Have you not understood since the earth was founded?

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers.

He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.

No sooner are they planted,

no sooner are they sown,

no sooner do they take root in the ground,

than He blows on them and they wither,

and the whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.”

Isaiah 40:18, 21-4

\This Scripture is a prophetic vision of God’s creative power and government over the nations and their rulers. In this world of political turmoil and endless power struggles in the nations, we need to keep our focus on the God who is sovereign over the whole earth. We may not like the ones who wield political power. We may not like their decisions or what they do, but we acknowledge with gratitude that they are only there for a season and God is able to raise up and put down governments and rulers to serve His greater purposes. When our eyes are on Him we will not be shaken by the things that go on around us. History is His Story and He is writing it through the lives of human beings, and moving everything towards His desired goal.
