The AMPC translation says He measured off the heavens with a 9-inch span. A span is from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger. Just imagine the brilliance of God’s mind that could work those things out using His hand!
You can almost see Isaiah being inspired by the Holy Spirit to ‘see’ how powerful and awesome our God is as he describes the creating of the heavens. God just becomes greater and greater in our thinking and then he suddenly shifts track and says “How can you say the Lord does not see your troubles?”
He’s helping us realise that God sees and knows everything and He is so powerful there is no trouble we could ever possibly have that would be too much for Him to solve!😊
He continues in v.28 Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
So next time you have some troubles looming up that seem impossible to you, maybe it would be good to have another read of this chapter and allow the Holy Spirit to let you know we can trust our God to not only sort it out and never miss a beat, but He’ll lift us up on wings like eagles while He does it.😊 What a mighty God is our God! Let’s praise Him today. Amen.
