Who Is Like Our Lord?

Psalms 113:5-9 Who is like the Lord our God, Who dwells on high, Who humbles Himself to behold the things that are in the heavens and in the earth? He raises the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap, that He may seat him with princes— With the princes of His people. He grants the barren woman a home, like a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord!

Is there any other god who can be compared to, or stand up to, our God? The short answer to that question is a resounding, "No!" There is no one who is like the God who is Creator, who is high above all the nations, and whose glory is above the heavens. He is the God who deserves praise day in, day out, all day, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Yes, that is the God who has provided, for us, salvation in Christ Jesus. As if that were not enough, I love what we are told in verses 7-9. The Lord is not only concerned about the poor and needy, but in Christ we, who were once dead in our trespasses, are now seated in heavenly places with Jesus (Ephesians 2:5-6). What is even more amazing is that a day is coming when this will also be realized, when Jesus comes back to rule and reign here on earth; but wait...there's more. Verse 9 shows us that the Lord is not only concerned for the needy in general, but is also concerned about us as individuals. He is a personal God. We know this from the stories of Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Hannah, and Samson's mother. The Lord opened the womb of each one personally. The God who is praised above all else, and everyone else, is the God who is personally concerned about us, and meets each of our individual needs. I ask you again, "Is there any other god who can be compared to, or stand up to, our God?"

Today, God extends an invitation to you to accept His free gift of salvation (Rom 7:23). Will you accept it? Anyone who calls on Jesus, by faith, in repentance, confessing your sins, will receive eternal life. Do not put off calling on Him, and receive His free gift of salvation today (Rom 10:13).
