There is None Like God

There is none like God.  Constantly looking for satisfaction, answers, and hope, society seeks to find their fulfillment in various resources offered in the secular and the spiritual.  From the Psalmist we learned that there is none like God.  "There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours" (Psalm 86:8).  It is in the previous verse that the psalmist reveals that because there is none like God, he will call upon him in the day of trouble.  If you have ever looked on bulletin boards filled with advertisements, you will most likely find self-help guidelines promising help 24/7.  There will always be someone there to listen.  Verse 7 shows that God not only hears but also answers.  Isn't it great to have that someone that we can always go to in our time of need and know that they are there for us.  That is God.  In fact, there is none like God because for Him, we do not have to go far.  He is there.  So how is there none like God?  The psalmist explains further.  Here is a brief list:

There is none who can work like God (v8)
There is none who is as great and can do the wondrous things like Him (v10)
There is none with the steadfast love toward us (v13)
There is none as merciful and gracious to us (v15)
There is none who is as slow to anger (v15)
There is none who is as faithful (v15)
There is none who can help and comfort like God (v17)

There really is none like God.  In the day of trouble turn to Him.  Trust Him.  Rely on Him.

A teenager who had just received her learner's permit offered to drive her parents to church. After a hair-raising ride, they finally reached their destination.

The mother got out of the car and said, "Thank you!"

"Anytime," her daughter replied.

As the woman slammed the door, she said, "I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to God."
