Jeremiah 10:6 (ESV) “There is none like you, O Lord; you are great, and your name is great in might.”
Mankind likes to put things on a horizontal measurement. I compare myself to you; while you compare yourself to me or someone else. We make judgments about rights and wrongs, successes and failures, value and worthlessness on this horizontal rule of comparison. While it may be possible to compare oneself with another, it is harmful to our self-esteem and to our relationships with others when we do this. We, however, cannot even attempt to measure God by these same standards. There is no one like Yahweh; the One true Living God. He cannot be compared to man, because no man can match His power, His wisdom, His majesty, or His love. When other people let you down, do not assume God will too. When other people cannot help, do not assume that God cannot help either. When others do not forgive completely or love unconditionally, do not assume that God is limited to the same shortcomings of human beings. His love knows no boundaries, and His mercies are new every day. There is none like our God!
Worship the One true God today!
