God and no compares to HIM

On this cold and wet Saturday morning I am sitting here in my big comfortable chair studying the lesson for our Youth Discipleship training class for Sunday evening (3:16 The Number of Hope by Max Lucado) when God just popped me in the head again, (you know one of those I should have had a V-8 kind of pops right between the eyes) well in the case in the heart.

The lesson this week is on No One Like Him, the scripture is based out of Isaiah 40: 18-31. This is where Isaiah was trying to get the Israelites to realize that there was or is no one as powerful or no one that can compare to our God. Then I realized just how true these statements truly are.

Let me back up just a little bit. There is a pattern here that I failed to get until now. First before I started studying I went on line to the Living Proof Blog (Beth Moore’s blog site) and was reading where she was sharing how great our God is and how so many people don’t give him the credit when credit is due him for the big and little things he does in each of our lives. Then I started studying this lesson. Boy can I just say here that God really wanted to share some good stuff with me today.

As I started studying and I saw just why He deserves all the credit for all HE does in each of our lives. There is no one or not one thing that can compare to him in any way form or fashion. He is the GOD of all. I just want to share with you our evidence he give us in HIS scripture.

Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the works of HIS hands.

Psalm 74:16 The day is yours, and yours also the night you established the sun and moon.

Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things, those of long ago. I am God and there is no other. I am God and there is none like me.

John 5:26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself.

Acts 17:25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself give all men life and breath and everything else.

I know these are a lot of verses but just to be honest with you there are a lot more verses to show us that He is the God of all and these just touch the surface. If we would just look to the ONE and only in all of our situations instead of always trying to rely on ourselves our lives would be so much better. I am also talking to myself here and I feel that is the reason God has revealed these scriptures to me to help me to remember that all things are done and go through him first. He also helps me to realize He does not need my help to fix the things in my life or in the lives of the people who are around me or who reads this. He is in control of all things.

He does not need our help, if he did why would he have said “I am God and there is no other. I am God and there is none like me.” He is our God and He is in control of all things. It is just that simple it is us his children that make things so difficult.

Let us now give Him total control, let Him be the pilot of our lives. Then when we do experience the fulfilling and abundant life He has for us let us give Him and Him alone the glory for it all. After all even the heavens and earth give Him the glory why not us.
