THE GREATNESS OF GOD
O Zion, herald of good news, Get up on a high mountain. O Jerusalem, herald of good news, Lift up your voice with strength, Lift it up, do not fear; Say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!” [Act_10:36; Rom_10:15]
Listen carefully, the Lord GOD will come with might, And His arm will rule for Him. Most certainly His reward is with Him, And His restitution accompanies Him. [Rev_22:7, Rev_22:12]
He will protect His flock like a shepherd, He will gather the lambs in His arm, He will carry them in His bosom; He will gently and carefully lead those nursing their young.
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, And marked off the heavens with a span [of the hand], And calculated the dust of the earth with a measure, And weighed the mountains in a balance And the hills in a pair of scales?
Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, Or has taught Him as His counselor? [Rom_11:34]
With whom did He consult and who enlightened Him? Who taught Him the path of justice and taught Him knowledge And informed Him of the way of understanding?
In fact, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, And are regarded as a speck of dust on the scales; Now look, He lifts up the islands like fine dust.
And [the forests of] Lebanon cannot supply sufficient fuel to start a fire, Nor are its wild beasts enough for a burnt offering [worthy of the LORD].
All the nations are as nothing before Him, They are regarded by Him as less than nothing and meaningless.
37. What description is given of the glory, the power, and the gentleness of the Savior-God?
CREATOR AND RULER OF ALL THE EARTH
Zion is bidden to climb the highest mountain within reach, and announce the advent of the Savior-God. When all eyes are turned to behold Him, expecting a mighty hero, lo, a shepherd conducts His flock across the waste lands, gathering the weakly lambs to His bosom and gently leading the ewes with their young. Do not be afraid of God; He has a shepherd’s heart. Words can never tell out all His tenderness; His pitying, understanding love.
We are next conducted to the Great Sea, Isa_40:12. Remember, says the prophet, that God’s hands are so strong that the ocean lies in them as a drop of water in man’s. He can place mountains in the scales He holds. So great is He that if all Lebanon’s forests were laid as wood on His altar, and all its beasts were consumed as burnt sacrifices, it would not be sufficient to set forth Page 68 His praise. And this God is our God forever and ever. The Creator of the ends of the earth is our Father.
