The God of the Bible

A few people have asked for the scriptures read this past Sunday evening. If you have 15 minutes, read and enjoy the God of the Bible through His Word.

Isaiah 57:15
For thus says the high and exalted One Who lives forever, whose name is Holy "I dwell on a high and holy place, And also with the contrite and lowly of spirit In order to revive the spirit of the lowly And to revive the heart of the contrite.

Isaiah 45:5-7
"I am the Lord, and there is no other;Besides Me there is no God I will gird you, though you have not known Me; [6] That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun That there is no one besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, [7] The One forming light and creating darkness,Causing well-being and creating calamity;I am the Lord who does all these.

Isaiah 40:18 To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare with Him?

Isaiah 40:21-29
Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? [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 out like a tent to dwell in.[23] He it is who reduces rulers to nothing,Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless. [24] Scarcely have they been planted,Scarcely have they been sown,Scarcely has their stock taken root in the earth, But He merely blows on them, and they wither,And the storm carries them away like stubble. [25] "To whom then will you liken Me That I would be his equal?" says the Holy One.[26] Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name;Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, Not one of them is missing.[27] Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the Lord, And the justice due me escapes the notice of my God"? [28] Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. [29] He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power.

"
Isaiah 45:17-24
Israel has been saved by the Lord With an everlasting salvation;You will not be put to shame or humiliated To all eternity. [18] For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited), "I am the Lord, and there is none else.[19] "I have not spoken in secret, In some dark land; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, 'Seek Me in a waste place'; I, the Lord, speak righteousness, Declaring things that are upright.
[20] "Gather yourselves and come; Draw near together, you fugitives of the nations; They have no knowledge,
Who carry about their wooden idol And pray to a god who cannot save. [21] "Declare and set forth your case;
Indeed, let them consult together. Who has announced this from of old? Who has long since declared it? Is it not I, the Lord? And there is no other God besides Me, A righteous God and a Savior; There is none except Me.
[22] "Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other.

Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass.
I have planned it, surely I will do it.[12] "Listen to Me, you stubborn-minded, Who are far from righteousness. [13] "I bring near My righteousness, it is not far off; And My salvation will not delay.And I will grant salvation in Zion, And My glory for Israel.

Isaiah 48:9-11
"For the sake of My name I delay My wrath, And for My praise I restrain it for you, In order not to cut you off.
[10] "Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. [11] "For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act; For how can My name be profaned? And My glory I will not give to another.

Isaiah 55:8-11
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,Nor are your ways My ways," declares the Lord. [9] "For as the heavens are higher than the earth,So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.
