Comparative Divinity 102

Comparative Divinity 102
Isaiah 46.5 To whom will you compare me or count me equal?
To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?

Oh God! why would we ever try? We can compare you to nobody and no thing!
Our language fails us. Is there a human who even knows you well enough
to begin to describe you? Is there no thing we can compare you to? Is there
no person merciful and powerful enough that we can liken you to? Can anything
on earth give us a glimpse of your beauty and glory? Will we ever know you
in this life? If we can't describe you, should we even try? If we can't understand you,
should we even try?
