A drop from a bucket
Is. 40:15
Behold, [observe and recognize]
[In comparison to God] the nations [the powers of all inhabitants of the earth combined together]
are like A DROP FROM A BUCKET [the drop that falls from the bucket in drawing water is extremely small having no power compared with the waters of the ocean - it is as nothing]
are like A DROP FROM A BUCKET [the drop that falls from the bucket in drawing water is extremely small having no power compared with the waters of the ocean - it is as nothing]
and are counted as small dust on the scales; [a tiny, fine particle of powder has no effect in making the most accurate scale unbalanced]
behold, [observe and recognize]
He takes up the isles like a very little thing. [even so, it’s a very small thing for God to move the mountains - "isles" are mountains upheaved from the bed of the sea by volcanic activity]

Pray the Word:
Lord, what strikes us as ‘great’ is nothing in comparison to You! Since there’s nothing or no one that can resist You – all is just A DROP IN THE BUCKET to You - You can accomplish Your purposes and nothing or no one can refuse to accept the completing of Your plans. Surely . . surely . . we know that You can accomplish all things without our aid. Let us stand still and see Your glory at work!
