Isaiah 40:12-26 (NLT) “who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers? Who else knows the weight of the earth or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale? Who is able to advise the Spirit of the LORD? Who knows enough to give him advice or teach him? Has the LORD ever needed anyone’s advice? Does he need instruction about what is good? Did someone teach him what is right or show him the path of justice? No, for all the nations of the world are but a drop in the bucket. They are nothing more than dust on the scales. He picks up the whole earth as though it were a grain of sand. All the wood in Lebanon’s forests and all Lebanon’s animals would not be enough to make a burnt offering worthy of our God. The nations of the world are worth nothing to him. In his eyes they count for less than nothing- mere emptiness and froth. To whom can you compare God? What image can you find to resemble him? Can he be compared to an idol formed in a mold, overlaid with gold, and decorated with silver chains? Or if people are too poor for that, they might at least choose wood that won’t decay and a skilled craftsman to carve an image that won’t fall down! Haven’t you heard? Don’t you understand? Are you deaf to the words of God- the words he gave before the world began? Are you so ignorant?
God sits above the circle of the earth. The people below seem like grasshoppers to him! He spreads out the heavens like a curtain and makes his tent from them. He judges the great people of the world and brings them all to nothing. They hardly get started, barely taking root, when he blows on them and they wither. The wind carries them off like chaff. “To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal?” asks the Holy One. Look up into the heavens. Who created all the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name. Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing.”
These verses are not adequate enough to describe God’s greatness. All the books in the world are not enough to describe God’s greatness. We can only describe him from the little revelation he has given us. The greatness of God should give us the confidence that he is more than able to deliver us from trouble. God delivers those who put their hope and trust in him.
Isaiah 40:29-31 (NLT)” He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
In any situation, God is up to the task. He fulfils his promises. You might be in prison, hospital, before a court judge or before a panel. Anytime you need help, just call upon God and he will answer you. He will show you great and mighty things that you do not know about your situation and future.
Jeremiah 33:1-3 (NLT) “While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the LORD gave him this second message: “This is what the LORD says- he LORD who made the earth, who formed and established it, whose name is the LORD: Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come".
Has the Lord made any promises to you that have not come to pass? Please continue to trust in him because he who has promised will surely do it. Hold on to the word of God like a lion holding on to its prey and won’t let go. What God has promised you is settled in heaven and so it must surely manifest in your life. The covenant that God has with the day and night has never been broken. Therefore the covenant that God has with you through our Lord Jesus Christ can never be broken. It is a covenant of righteousness, peace, good health, prosperity and freedom.
All these blessings and many more must manifest in our lives as children of God. God who has promised these things, he is faithful and will surely do it. When circumstances or issues arise, be focused on the power of God to pull you through. Begin to see the solution to your problem and magnify the Lord. You will soon discover that your circumstance will not be able to stand against your God. When you begin to sing about the greatness of God, your circumstance must change for the better and everyone will surely acknowledge the greatness of your God.

Sing with me

Indeed our God is great , Exodus 15 vs 8 says and with the blast of His nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright like a heap; the depths congealed in the heart of sea .
