Isaiah 46:5 KJV
To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
Through The Posing Of A Question
By The Very Lord Of Life Whose Name Is All-Knowing
Which Means He Has The Unimpeachable Answer!
The Lord God Almighty Asked:
"To Whom Will You Compare Me!?!"
Come On, Brother Man!
That Was A Trick Question!
Was It, Uncle Look-Up!?!
Are You Calling Our Lord Deceitful!?!
No, Mo!
I Might Be A Lot Of Things
But Stupid I Am Not!
All I Want To Know Is Why
An Unanswerable Question Was Posed!?!
Lil' Bit, Have You Ever Heard This Expression:
"Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy!?!"
No, I Can't Say That I Have!
Okay!
Let's Say, For Instance, That You Worshipped The Living God
In The Unvarying Beauty Of Holiness
And
You Were Truly Happy And Undeniably Blessed To Do So!
You Knew That You Were Loved And Cherished
For You Knew That You Were Not Alone
Because
Your God Was Your Shepherd, Your Refuge, And Your Strength!
You Couldn't See Him
Because
If You Did In Your Current Sinful State
You Would Be Immediately Consumed:
He Protected You By Covering Himself!
You Were Happy, Happy, Happy
Until You Happened Upon
"This Is It!" Means And Methods Ministries Incorporated!
They Had Crashing Cymbals, Booming Bass Drums
Tenor Pans, Electric Guitars
Praise Singers In Bikinis
Praise Dancers In Short Shorts
With Lil' Frilly Aprons Over Them
And
Theatrical Lights, Smoke Machines
And
A Glib-Tongued Speaker With Expensive Tastes, Treats And Toys
And
All Manner Of Pricey Statuary
Which They Carried And Venerated In Their Worship!
You Were Mesmerized Even More
When It Was Told You That The Statues Were Gods
Who Gave Them Their Every Desire
When The Worshippers Gave Said Gods
Gifts Of Money, Produce, Pledge, Or Person!
You Noted That Those Worshippers Were Excited, Even Euphoric!
Lord Jesus, Save Us!
Why Do You Say That, Mala Prop!?!
I Say That Because That Is
Exactly What Happened To The Israelites
At The Time Of Balaam
And Then
At The Time Of Prophet Samuel
When They Asked For A King That They Could See ...!
... And That Is What Repeatedly Led To Them
Being Constantly Overcome And Enslaved
To Their Idolatrous Adversaries!
So, Brethren,
What Do You Say, Now, About Comparison!?!
"Comparison Is Truly The Thief Of Joy!"
Beloved,
Every Good And Perfect Gift Comes From Almighty God
Who Will Not Share His Glory With Another
For No Other Can Be Compared To Him
Because
He Is Life, Love, Light
And
Everything To All People!
Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Allow Anything Or Anybody
To Steal Your Joy In Our Lord Jesus
The God Almighty
Mighty To Save And Seal Us Against The Great Day Of Small Things
The Day Of Judgment!
AMEN!!!
Peace!
