Commentary on Isaiah 40:12

Theological / Devotional

Who hath measured. The exalted picture Isaiah here gives of the wisdom, power, and eternal majesty of God is unsurpassed in Scripture (see Job 38:4-37). Again, in Isa. 40:26-28; 41:19, 20, the prophet refers to the power of God as manifested in the works of creation. Compare Ps. 96:5. See on Isa. 41:21. God is the great Master Worker of the universe, the One who fashioned the heavens and the earth. For Him no task is too great and no responsibility too small. Things infinitely large and incomprehensible to man are as nothing to Him. It is our privilege to trust in a God that is great and wise and good. All His wisdom and power are at the command of those who believe and trust in Him. Compare Isa. 57:15; see DA 827.
