OUR FATHER WHOSE UNDERSTANDING IS BEYOND GRASP

The book of Isaiah chapter 40 verse 13 says this;

NIV : Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord, or instruct the Lord as his counselor?

NKJV : Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, Or as His counselor has taught Him?

Continuing from our look at chapter 40 verse 12 which identified four zones of the earth  that had to be carefully engineered to create a stable platform to serve as a habitation for all the life on earth.

In this context, as we continue to verse 13, we see the conundrum of trying to comprehend the nature and scope of the Being who created the earth's zones in their complexity. How vast and unsearchable would such a Being have to be?

On the other hand, if the creator did not Himself eternally possess all the understanding and prowess needed to created the realm able to sustain biological life, where is the being who would have this capability so as to inform the Creator of the earth on how to do so?

This question is answered in verse 28 where the Lord is declared to be eternal and the singular  creator of the earth. He is eternally rejuvinated and His personally-held understanding is beyond grasp.

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

Amen.
