"To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal and compare Me, that we should be alike? They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver on the scales; they hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god; they prostrate themselves, yes, they worship. They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it and set it in its place and it stands; from its place it shall not move. Though one cries out to it, yet it cannot answer nor save him out of his trouble." Is. 46:5-7
This was part of the Solo devo for today. I think the part that struck me most was where God is asking us to whom or what we compare Him. The question occured to my mind why we do this. I think sometimes the reason is that we are simply trying to grasp hold of some way to understand God. So we fashion comparisons that build the walls of boxes that seek to contain Him. Its silly really, to think that we could possibly begin to contain the God of our universe in our own feeble minds. And yet... I know I'm guily of this. Just my thoughts.
