Reading: Isaiah 40:12-15, 12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance? 13 Who has understood the mind of the LORD, or instructed him as his counselor? 14 Whom did the LORD consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way? Who was it that taught him knowledge or showed him the path of understanding? 15 Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are regarded as dust on the scales; he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.
Sometimes we get so enamored with “important” people. Just a few months ago, we watched as people mourned the passing of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ted Kennedy. To see events played back from their lives as someone who was incredibly famous, it’s intriguing to see the passionate fans and followers. Each of them powerful in their own way, each of them multi-millionaires, yet each of them are no longer alive. I wonder, if you knew each one of them individually in their prime well enough to talk to them whenever you wanted to (an incredible musician, a beautiful actress and a powerful congressman)... you could call anytime and they would drop everything to be there for you… how important would you feel? Would you feel like you were “somebody”? Would you feel special and important? I’m also sure that you would consult them often in the areas of their expertise, if you knew that you could any time. Yet, none of them, and not all the celebrities that you could name or famous politicians or wealthy people across the globe could have the description written about them as is described in this passage. Why would be get nervous and be enamored with these people and, yet, we can consult God whenever we want to and we don’t. And, we don’t feel enamored or special?
What are some things in your life, today, about which you need to consult God?
Go to Him today! Let Him be your instructor and your counselor. Just as you would probably want to simply listen and absorb what a famous person might tell you, in there field of expertise, listen very carefully to the all-knowing God.
REVIEW
How did you consult with God today? And, what did you consult Him with?
How did this impact the matters that you’re facing, about which you sought God’s counsel and instruction?
