《以賽亞書》第四十章,二十五和二十六节
ISAIAH 40:25,26

25 那圣者说: 你们将谁比我, 叫他与我相等呢? 26 你们向上举目, 看谁创造这万象, 按数目领出, 他一一称其名; 因他的权能, 又因他的大能大力, 连一个都不缺。 CUVS

今天我们一起背诵默想的经文来自旧约《以赛亚书》四十章,25和26节。本章有很多属灵的宝藏有待我们靠着圣灵的光照来挖掘领会。作者借着多处的反问句的应用,让我们对创造主真神的属性有了更形象更清晰的认识。亲爱的朋友们,今天的两句经文中都提到“你们”,这是无以伦比的独一真神对他的子民的发问。第25节与本章之前的18节有重复部分,更突出了神是“圣者”这一属性。真神不同于偶像,世上没有任何受造之物能和造物的主相提并论的。大能大智的创造主可以“数点星宿的数目,一一称他的名”。这样无所不知,无所不能的神也知道你生命中的一切!他创造了万民万物,他也维系一切的生命;他可以与求告救主耶稣基督的人亲近,他是配得一切永远称颂的!

25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. KJV

The scripture we are meditating on today is from Isaiah 40, verses 25 and 26 of the Old Testament. There are many spiritual treasures in this chapter for us to understand by the light of the Holy Spirit. Through the application of many rhetorical questions, the author gives us a clearer picture of the attributes of the true God, the Creator. Dear friends, both of today's verses mention "you", which is a question from the incomparable One God to His people. Verse 25 is a repetition of the previous 18 verses in this chapter, which emphasizes the attribute of God as "the Holy One". The true God is different from idols, and no created thing on earth can be compared to the Lord of creation. The mighty and wise Creator can "count the number of the stars and call them all by their names". Such an omniscient, omnipotent God also knows everything in your life! He created all things, and He sustains all life; He can be close to those who call on the Savior Jesus Christ, and He is worthy of all eternal praise! (translation from DeepL.com/translator)
