【双语灵修】万物皆无法与神相比NOTHING CAN COMPARE WITH GOD

以赛亚书 40:18；诗篇 115:1–8

18 你们究竟将谁比神，用什么形象与神比较呢？ 1 耶和华啊，荣耀不要归于我们，不要归于我们，要因你的慈爱和诚实归在你的名下！ 2 为何容外邦人说：“他们的神在哪里呢？” 3 然而我们的神在天上，都随自己的意旨行事。 4 他们的偶像是金的银的，是人手所造的。 5 有口却不能言，有眼却不能看， 6 有耳却不能听，有鼻却不能闻， 7 有手却不能摸，有脚却不能走，有喉咙也不能出声。 8 造他的要和他一样，凡靠他的也要如此。

万物皆无法与神相比

“你们究竟将谁比神，用什么形像与神比较呢？” - 以赛亚书 40:18

以赛亚在这里再次以反问，来强调神的伟大与独特性。神的伟大是无可比拟的。祂统治万有，不需要任何人的指引。与主相比，万国都显得微不足道。因此，我们的信靠绝不能建立在人的权势或政府之上，必须建立在那位坐在天上永恒宝座上的主身上。

以赛亚指出，神不像任何形象或偶像。自古以来，人通过雕刻或铸造偶像，来代表他们观念中那些认为拥有掌控力的神灵。然而，独一真神乃是创造天地的主。所有其他的神都是虚假的，它们一无所知，也无所作为。人们的偶像是无能的，而神是全能的。

神对我们的眷顾也是无可比拟的。祂是那位供应我们，并在我们疲乏时更新我们力量的。没有任何事物、没有任何人能与主相比。祂是生命的源头，所以祂的生命不源于任何人或任何物。祂在统治或自我保护上，不依赖于任何人。

神是独特的、唯一的、无可比拟的。全心信靠祂吧！

祷告

无可比拟的主啊，你在权能与智慧上无与伦比。求你扭转我们的心，使我们不再信靠人心中那所谓的权势与能力，而是唯独承认你。求你因着你的恩典并藉着你的灵，将我们的心锚定在你那主权性的眷顾之中。奉耶稣的名祷告祈求，阿们。

NOTHING CAN COMPARE WITH GOD

With whom, then, will you compare God? To what image will you liken him? —Isaiah 40:18

Here again Isaiah uses a rhetorical question to highlight the greatness and uniqueness of God. The Lord is incomparable in his greatness. He rules over all creation without needing anyone to guide him. In comparison to the Lord, all nations are insignificant. Our trust, therefore, must be not in human power or governments but in the one who rules from the eternal throne in heaven.

Isaiah points out that God is not like any image or idol either. Since ancient times, people have carved or cast images to represent their ideas of gods that they believe have power over them. But the only true God is the Lord, who made heaven and earth. All other gods are false. They know nothing and can do nothing. People’s idols are powerless, but God is all-powerful.

God is also incomparable in his care for us. He is the one who provides for us and renews our strength when we are weary.

Nothing and no one compares with the Lord. He is the source of life, so his life is not derived from anyone or anything. He does not depend on anyone to rule or to protect himself.

God is unique, singular, incomparable. Put your trust in him!

Incomparable Lord, unequaled in power and wisdom, turn our trust from human notions of strength and power to recognize you alone. By your grace and through your Spirit, anchor our hearts in your sovereign care. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
