Creed, Week Two

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his handand marked off the heavens with a span,enclosed the dust of the earth in a measureand weighed the mountains in scalesand the hills in a balance? 13 Who has measured the Spirit of the Lord, or what man shows him his counsel?14 Whom did he consult,and who made him understand?Who taught him the path of justice,and taught him knowledge,and showed him the way of understanding? 15 Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,and are accounted as the dust on the scales;behold, he takes up the coastlands like fine dust.16 Lebanon would not suffice for fuel,nor are its beasts enough for a burnt offering.17 All the nations are as nothing before him,they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness. 18 To whom then will you liken God,or what likeness compare with him?22…It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them like a tent to dwell in; 23 who brings princes to nothing, and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness…25 To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? Says the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name, by the greatness of His might and because He is strong in power not one is missing. Isaiah 40:12-26 (ESV) 25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:25-26 (ESV) The Apostle's Creed "I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth." A Mighty Creator A Merciful Father Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.Matthew 10:29-31 (ESV) A Benevolent Master Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or "What shall we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:31-33 (ESV)
