A God In A Class All To Himself (5 of 6)
Ken Trivette
Isaiah 40:18,25
1. I once came across a description of God entitled, ''God is Like:'' . God is like Coke: He's the real thing. . God is like Pan Am: He makes the going great. . God is like General Electric: He lights your path. . God is like Bayer Aspirin: He works wonders. . God is like Hallmark Cards: He cares enough to send the best. . God is like Tide: He gets the stains out that others leave behind. . God is like VO5 hairspray: He holds through all kinds of weather. . God is like Dial Soap: Aren't you glad you know Him? Don't you wish everyone did? . God is like Alka-Seltzer: Try Him, you'll like Him. . God is like Scotch Tape: You can't see Him, but you know He's there.

6. The word ''compare'' is an interesting word. It literally speaks of putting something in a row. Isaiah was saying that if we lined up this and that one, put them in a row side by side, God would stand head and shoulders above them all for there is no one like Him. He is in a class all to Himself. There is no one in His likeness.
9. In verse 25 Isaiah says THERE IS NO ONE ON HIS LEVEL. We read, ''To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.''
10. The word ''equal'' speaks of leveling something. Isaiah is saying that there is no one on His level. He is mightier than mig ...
