"Biblical Similes"

Isaiah 18:4 "For so the Lord said to me, I will take my rest, and I will look from my dwelling place like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."

To answer the rhetorical question of the worship song, "Who is like the Lord? Uh, nobody. God's perspective is above and beyond all others. He has a perfect view, literally. When He steps back from His work, He sees it like it is. He knows and understands what He sees. His similes are perfect illustrations. God is sovereign over the affairs of history and is never caught off guard by what takes place. God's people can take comfort in a world marked by chaos and turmoil by trusting in the God Who is seated above it all. When He looks down it is totally clear; like the heat of sunshine and completely calming; like the low-lying dew in harvest. He doesn't break a sweat or need to squint. Eyes wide open and cool as can be He sees it all. These are perfect similes like every Word out of the mouth of God. God speaks more often than we listen or hear. Shhhh...  can you see what He sees?

In His Word,
Pastor Fred
