TITLE: Captured by God’s Awesomeness
Scripture: Isaiah 40: 12-31
I. GOD IS AWESOME IN HIS CREATION
Truthfully, none of can grasp the (width, depth, height and length) of God’s love.
“God’s awesomeness take you to your knees in total reverence, to worship without self-consciousness and to walk in glad surrender.” James MacDonald
Our creative God:
1. There are (912,500) cubic miles of water.
2. The earth is (25,326) miles all the way around.
“Who has counted the handfuls of water in the sea, measured off the sky with a ruler, gauged how much dust there is on the earth, weighted the mountains on a scale, or the hills in balance?” Is.40:12 (Jewish Study Bible)
“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” Ps.19:1
II. GOD IS AWESOME IN HIS COMPARISON
Word used in verse 13 is all capitals which means LORD = (Yahweh).
Points of comparison:
1. God is (infinite). Vv. 13-14
2. God is (self-existent). Vv.18-23
3. God is (self-sufficient). Vv.25-31
III. GOD IS AWESOME IN HIS CHALLENGE
The people of Israel were expressing what we often feel: (God has forgotten us).
They also forgot what we often forget: They forgot (who God was).
