Proverbs 20:10
and 20:23 – Shaving just as small portion from the pound or the inch is an
abomination to the LORD. Why? All the weights of the bag are His work; Proverbs

Isaiah 44:24-28 – Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer,
And He who formed you from the womb: "I am the Lord, who makes all things,
Who stretches out the heavens all alone, Who spreads abroad the earth by
Myself; Who frustrates the signs of the babblers, And drives diviners mad; Who
turns wise men backward, And makes their knowledge foolishness; Who confirms
the word of His servant, And performs the counsel of His messengers; Who says
to Jerusalem, 'You shall be inhabited,' To the cities of Judah, 'You shall be
built,' And I will raise up her waste places; Who says to the deep, 'Be dry!
And I will dry up your rivers'; Who says of Cyrus, 'He is My shepherd, And he
shall perform all My pleasure, Saying to Jerusalem, "You shall be
built," And to the temple, "Your foundation shall be laid." '
God
did not need help in Creation and He alone accomplished the work. In verse 24
of this exhortation from Isaiah the words “all alone” are literally “by Himself”
the power of this statement includes the thought that God has for those who
believe the lie of evolution in that the many voices of evolution are nothing
more than “babble”. Think about this… in the history of Creation and
pro-creation the One God has a perfect record in that He alone makes all
things; while mankind offers all sorts of records of failure nothing more than “babble”.
Since
the time of Adam to Abraham, God has confirmed His Word through His servants
and from the time of Abraham to Jesus God has given counsel by His messengers.
God provides for His people. Who are His people, these men, women and children
are the nation of Israel, He alone has kept that nation for Himself, while most
all of the nations of the world have sought to destroy the Jew. Yet Israel
still stand, and stand it will. God, even saying to Jerusalem, “You shall be
built” and to the temple “Your foundation shall be laid”.
How
will God do this? Hebrews 1:1-4 – God, who at various times and in different
ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His
Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the
worlds (lit. ages). Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image
of His person, and upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had (here
it is again) By HIMSELF purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the
Majesty on high. Having become so much better than the angels as He has by
inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
