Tag: God is Sovereign Over All the Nations - Isaiah 40-45

Isaiah 40:12-17

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand

and marked off the heavens with a span,

enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure

and weighed the mountains in scales

and the hills in a balance?

Who has measured the Spirit of the Lord,

or what man shows him his counsel?

Whom did he consult,

and who made him understand?

Who taught him the path of justice,

and taught him knowledge,

and showed him the way of understanding?

Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,

and are accounted as the dust on the scales;

behold, he takes up the coastlands like fine dust.

Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,

nor are its beasts enough for a burnt offering.

All the nations are as nothing before him,

they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.

If we listen to the news in our country we can’t help but see the disdain politicians have for each other.  The “ruling class” fights for power and control.  Those “in the know” want to have power over the masses and want to pretend to be “carrying” for the people.  However, the nations are “nothing” before God.   To God, the nations “are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.”   They are a “drop from a bucket” and “are accounted as the dust on the sales.”  Think about that!!  The congress, the executive branch, the Supreme Court of these United States; all the power of China; all the leaders of the European Union; all the might of Russia; and all the arrogant perceived power of every despot across the globe are ALL but the DUST ON THE SCALE.  Every corporation board; everyone leader of every company; every pretend power in all parts of the world is but dust to God.   They don’t even amount the thing weighed on the scale.  They are merely dust to God.  To God, they are speaks on the scale.  The next time we worry about our form of government or those in the ruling class that pretend to be in charge and attempt to put one up and another down, let us remember that God is control.  He marks off the heavens and measures the dust of the earth and weighs the mountains and the hills!!  He teaches justice; knows all knowledge and measures all the water in the hollow of his hand.  This is our God.  He has got this!!!
