Isaiah 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who has created these things, that brings out their host by number… Cicero could ask, with unfailing constancy, "Can we doubt that some present and efficient ruler is over them?" And Seneca says, "They all continue, not because they are eternal, but because the watchfulness of their Governor protects them: imperishable things need no guardian; but these are preserved by their Maker, who, by His power, controls their natural tendency, to decay." And Hume, though his. philosophy was irreligious in comparison with that of either Roman, could raise his hands to the starry sky and show that he too had a human heart, by exclaiming to Fergusson, "Oh, Adam, how can a man look at that and not believe in a God!" (Sir E. Strachey, Bart.) Parallel Verses KJV: Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. |
