S – Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or who gave him counsel?  Who did he consult? Who gave him understanding and taught him the paths of justice? Who taught him knowledge and showed him the way of understanding? 

Isaiah 40:13–14 CSB

O – Commentary:

In verses 13–14 Isaiah spoke of the infinite knowledge and skill the Lord possesses. No one on earth can claim to have taught the Lord anything. He did not need to consult anyone. Isaiah was probably thinking of the Creation account (Gen. 1) in which God spoke and Creation came into being. In irony God had also pointed out to Job by numerous questions that his knowledge was nothing compared with God’s (Job 38:2–39:30

“Isaiah,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – When thinking of the “bigness” of God, it is hard to fathom that He has no equal or peer.  No one taught Him or instructed him to create the world.  And yet, He did so he could have a relationship with us.  With all of our flaws, imperfections and shortcomings, He chose us and paid for us with his son’s blood and life.  It is humbling and affirming at the same time.

R – Heavenly Father, you are the one, true God who created, knows and holds all things.  Thank you for loving us.  We fall short daily but want to press toward you and your calling for us.  Please give us the courage and strength to honor you in all things today.
