The God-ness of God

In a world awash with customizable “gods,” Isaiah calls us to behold the living God as He truly is—self-sufficient, singular, and utterly incomparable. From the span of the heavens to the rise and fall of princes, God alone creates, governs, and sustains all things. And in His kindness, this Holy One gives strength to the weary who wait on Him.

God is self-sufficient: He has life in Himself and needs nothing (cf. Isa 40:12, 21–22).

God is singular: To whom will we liken Him? Idols—ancient or modern—cannot compare (Isa 40:18–20, 25–26).

God is simple (not made of parts): The one, pure Spirit who later reveals the fullness of His triune life without division.
