"To whom then will you liken God?
Or what likeness will you compare to Him?" (Isaiah 40:18) I have heard it said of actors and actresses, that you can really read the pain, and suffering, the joy and excitement, in their performance. I have heard people ask this about other people:
"How do you read that person?" "How do you know what is going on in their minds and in their hearts?" In our text, the prophet Isaiah asks a question concerning God.
"To whom then will you liken God?" "To whom will you compare Him to?" We have His Word, that reveals to us the different aspects of His personality. We have creation that shows us the order and beauty of His handiwork. But yet, God is a mysterious divine person, who works in mysterious ways. There are times when we wonder what He is doing in our lives? How can we read God? I don't believe we will totally understand the personality, and workings of our awesome God. But this is where faith comes in. We are told that for those who love Him, and fulfill His calling on their lives, that all things will work together for good. (Romans 8:28) In other words, God has our best interest at heart, no matter if we understand Him or not. He understands us, and will always in His time, provide what is best for us. I read that loud and clear! GP
