Morning Showers

Calvary Pointers Morning Showers 24 July 2023 Devotional by Reverend Ajisafe Opeyemi - Who Is Like The Lord?

Who Is Like The Lord?

Psalms 89:6-8: “For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?” 

Who is like the Lord? Any follower of Jesus would answer this question with a resounding, “No one!” But the Psalmist is not looking for an answer. His question is rhetorical. He’s using it to prove a point rather than get an answer. He’s emphasizing his message. 

Simply listing the attributes and character of the Lord is not enough. Only a question can articulate the scope of His greatness! 

Moses does the same thing when he recounts all that God has done for the Israelites in his song, “Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?” Exodus 15:11 

And when Solomon dedicates the temple he says, “Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way. You have kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have promised and with your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today.” 2 Chronicles 6:4-15 

Only Jesus can restore us to right relationship with God. Only Jesus can pay the debt we should have paid because of our sin and rebellion against God. Only Jesus left heaven, became a man, took on our sin and shame, endured the cross, died the death we deserved, and rose again, defeating the grave and holding the keys to death and hell! 

There is one true God, who created you and me, the world and everything in it. He made a way, through Jesus, for us to have life, peace, meaning, and a relationship with Him. He alone is worthy of our worship. Who is like the Lord? 

“Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?” — Psalm 113:5-9 

There is none like Him. None could be compared that looks like Him. He's wonderful, great, beautiful and highly exhausted. He is powerful and great in majesty. Strike a relationship with Him today. Surrender your life unto Him and let Him work a work of salvation in your life. 

God bless you! 

Good morning to you, may you have a great day at work.
