"DO YOU NOT HEAR?"

Isaiah 40:18-23                            (ESV)
"18 To whom then will you liken GOD, or what likeness compare with HIM?
19 An idol! A craftsman casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and casts for it silver chains.
20 He who is too impoverished for an offering chooses wood that will not rot; he seeks out a skillful craftsman to set up an idol that will not move.
21 Do you not know? "DO YOU NOT HEAR?" Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is HE who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
23 WHO brings princes to nothing, and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness."



To ACCEPT that this entire world, not just the planet earth, but all of the galaxies (known and unknown) moving at speeds that human minds can't fully comprehend, had some other "beginning " than GOD speaking them into existence takes far more faith than ACCEPTING that GOD IS GOD and HE is in control!  GOD is so vastly more than anything or being we can fathom, yet HE desires a relationship with each one of us, if we will only submit to HIS Plan for our lives.

Don't let your finite minds try to grasp what GOD can accomplish.......GOD has a Plan!  If we trust in HIS Plan for our lives, the path may not be smooth, but it will be easier than our own path.  Hosea 10:13 says "You have plowed iniquity; you have reaped injustice; you have eaten the fruit of lies. BECAUSE YOU HAVE TRUSTED IN YOUR OWN WAY and in the multitude of your warriors,".  Mankind gets so confident in his imagined abilities that his perceived accomplishments become something for him to glory in, when all the time it is GOD granting the success.

Just as in Exodus 14, GOD eventually got glory over Pharaoh and all his hosts, and HE is still the same GOD today!  People can attempt to rewrite history about how GOD has delivered HIS Plan on mankind. In the end, it is only HIS Plan that will come into existence.  GOD can elevate the ungodly, and HE can humble HIS servants (or vice-versa), all for HIS Glory!  Pharaoh was the most powerful man on earth when he chased the Israelites into the Red Sea.  But GOD got Glory over Pharaoh in a way that most apologists would find hard to explain.

If we really understood WHO GOD is, in all of HIS power and might, it would be so much easier to trust in HIM for our everything.  The reason most of us "DO YOU NOT HEAR?" is because we won't slow our lives down long enough to hear from a HOLY GOD!  Can you imagine getting a phone call from one of the wealthiest, wisest leaders of the world?  We all have the opportunity to be a have direct communication with GOD, the Creator of the universe.  "DO YOU NOT HEAR?" from HIM?  Do you even WANT to hear from HIM?
