Who can you compare to our God?

Children are a heritage from the lord and the fruit of the womb his reward (Ps127: 3). I believe these words concerning the children God has blessed me with, for which my heart thank him daily. One of the joys of having them is how I have come to understand some biblical truth just from their childlike actions, truth I may never have fully understood beforehand. One of those truth is around Who can I compare with my God?

I am sure there is no need to emphasis that as with most 5 year old girls, my daughter believes her dad is everything, almost placing him at a near super human status. There is really nothing new or surprising about that. What still gets to me sometimes is how she expresses or vocalizes this believe but then, I learn every day. For example, one day while we were having our usual mother-daughter chit chat, she told me, almost as thou a question, “my daddy is the strongest person so he is stronger than a lion”. (Sweetheart you know I believe you are the bestest and that Davidic anointing is upon you but at that point I did not say an outright yes to her :-) ). I think I came up with some comments about animals been different from humans and you don’t compare animals with humans or so. I recall thinking about it and saying, that a rather strange comparism to make. 

So back to the topic “who or what can you compare to our God” did I hear you say no one? If that is your answer you are correct because the bible in 2Sam7:22 says ‘there is no one like our God’. The more important question for you & I to answer is do we really believe this truth? When you search your heart, your actions or thoughts is it consistent with that of a person who serves a wonder working God? (Ex15:11) Beloved it is a lot easier then we think to compare our creator and even equate our problems to him.

Let's go back to the bible for illustration, we all know the story of the 12 spies sent by Moses to spy the land of Canaan (Numbers 13&14). Joshua & Caleb came back with good reports but the other 10 spies had negative reports of the land, putting great fear in the minds of the Israelites’. By the time you get to end of Numbers13, just to buttress their point the spies said “we saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them. However, the bible says God sits above the circle of the earth. The people below seem like grasshoppers to him! (Isa40:22). In other words they were saying, just by simple ratios, the children of Anak can be compared to their God, almost equal to the one who delivered them from the armies of pharaoh without them lifting a sword. What a tragedy? No wonder God was so angry at the contempt and their lack of faith despite all the signs He had performed and went ahead to say “as you have spoken in my ears have I heard” (Num28:13). We know the rest of the story; none of the people who originally left Egypt except for Joshua & Caleb saw the promise land. .

Dear friends, I ask again who or what can you compare to our God? What situation are you putting above the Almighty God? The one who created the heavens and the earth! The one who calls things that be not as thou they be! In what ways have we brought contempt to the name of the Lord by suggesting that a situation is too difficult for him with our doubt? Who are you comparing to you God?

Remain blessed.
