Hi friend and welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. My name is Sheridan

Voizzi and I've titled today's reading Unlimited. There I am, sitting in the shopping

mall food court, my body tense and my stomach knotted over looming

work deadlines. As I unwrap my burger and take a bite, people rush around me, fretting over

their own tasks. How limited we all are, I think to myself, limited in time, energy, and capacity.

I consider writing a new to-do list and prioritising the urgent tasks,

but as I pull out a pen, another thought enters my mind,

a thought of one who is infinite and unlimited,

who effortlessly accomplishes all that he desires.

This God, Isaiah says, can measure the oceans in the hollow of his hand and collect the dust of

the earth in a basket.

He names the stars of the heavens and directs their path, knows the rulers of the world and

oversees their careers, considers islands mere specks of dust

and the nations like drops in the sea. To whom will you compare me? he asks in Isaiah 25.

The Lord is the everlasting God, Isaiah replies. He will not grow tired or weary.

Stress and strain are never good for us.

But on this day they deliver a powerful lesson.

The unlimited God is not like me.

He accomplishes everything he wishes.

I finish my burger and then pause once more and silently worship.

Today's scripture reading is from Isaiah chapter 40 verses 21 to 28. Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning?

Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy
