Who Is Like Our God?

Psalms 113:-5-9 - "Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high, who looks far down on the heavens and the earth? He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people. He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the Lord."



The God of the Bible has no equal. He is eternal and has created all things. To what can He be compared? Actually, this question has already been asked in Scripture, by God Himself: “To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? says the Holy One” (Isaiah 40:25). The clear answer to this question echoes throughout Scripture: “Therefore You are great, O Lord GOD. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You” (2 Samuel 7:22).

Yes, humans are made in the image or likeness of God, but that does not make us like (i.e., equal to) God. God is unique from every other being and thing because He alone is infinite and uncreated. We are finite, but the Lord has no beginning or end. Scripture states, “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God” - (Psalms 90:2)

David understood the greatness of God when he asked, “What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?” (Psalm 8:4). When we consider the incomparably awesome Creator God and the fact that He loves you and me, we should fall to our knees in humble worship.

Let's acknowledge our position of utter dependence on the great I AM for there is no God like our God.

Have A Blessed Day!

God Bless

Every Day With Jesus
