Isaiah 40:21-24 (NIV)
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
No sooner are they planted,
no sooner are they sown,
no sooner do they take root in the ground,
than he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.
When God said this, Sennacherib and the Assyrians were ruling the world. Then it was Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians. Then Cyrus and the Persians, Alexander and the Greeks, and Augustus and the Romans.
We ‘ve seen Charlemagne, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Adolf Hitler, and Winston Churchill.
They are nothing to God. One little breath and like chaff they disappear.
God hasn’t moved. He is still on the throne.
I enjoyed your “hidden” message! :)
Amen.
Not directly related to Isaiah, but this is a thought-provoking video.
Maybe Obama needs to look at that “pale blue dot,” that “mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam,” and realize how insignificant this world really is. Unlike Sagan, maybe he’ll realize there is hope through Jesus Christ for the “significant insignificances” [As Giglio puts it] of this world.
