God’s magnitude becomes so personal
In Isaiah 40 we are given word pictures and encouraged to lift our thinking up high to try and comprehend the magnitude, magnificence and splendour of God. Whilst this is really beyond our capacities, what we can do is appreciate no matter how ‘big’ God is, He is prepared to come inside us by His Holy Spirit and then we can have an individual and very personal relationship with Him. And then, as written in Psalm 46, God becomes our refuge and strength and very present help in times of trouble.
