The Infinite Creator’s Comforting Power
And yet God — the Creator — presents before us His wonderful greatness not to terrify, but to inspire awe, reverence, admiration, devotion, and to comfort the hearts of the children of earth. For be it known that the Creator is the Infinite One. His infinite POWER is the MEASURE of His WISDOM, His LOVE, His CARE. He is not alone infinite in the maxima of nature; He is infinite in its minima. He not only measures and controls the mightiest, He equally knows and controls the smallest creations. For the mightiest sun which thrusts the lances of his light through ethereal space is composed of molecules, atoms, electrons, ions, and we know not how many other divisibilities infinitesimal; and while in His sight all the nations of earth are but the small dust of the balance, which affects not its accuracy, and "are nothing and less than nothing," the overwhelming thought is pressed upon us that we may better appreciate — we can not comprehend — His infinite love. For that wonderful chapter of Isaiah from which we have quoted opens with the very thought: "Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God."
