Devotion Isaiah 46:5 Comparing God

Isaiah 46:5 “With whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?”

In our minds, to whom do we compare God with?  To us, does the devil match up to God?  Is he able to stand beside, or above God?  Is he able to thrust a spear through God to pierce us?  If we get sick, is that sickness greater than God?  If we are tempted, maybe repeatedly, is the temptation, or sin, greater than God?  Is the person, the human being, that God created, greater than his Creator God?  Do we know anyone like Jesus who is God in the flesh?  Whom do we know that never, not ever, sinned?  The answer is no-one, not grandma and not the cute toddler whom we love and whose smile “kills us.” Who stepped down from perfect joy and serenity to come and suffer and die for us before being resurrected?  Let us consider how many of our friends would truly die for us? Who could die and then resurrect Himself?  Who knows all our despicable works and thoughts and still would die for us?  Who loves even those who refuse Him until the day they die?  Who forever loves those who love Him forever?  Who has the power to absolutely protect and provide in every way He desires?  In our minds, whom can be compared to God and stand?  We know that all wither and crawl away at even the thought of the comparison.

Whom can stand beside God to be compared to Him?  We know the answer.  None are worthy to be compared to God, and least of all, ourselves.

Since God has no equal, none even close, and since God loves us and always protects us, let us not worry or fear.   Let us not crave anything but God.  Only God can fully satisfy the soul and none other.  There is no worthy comparison for God.  It is silly to even consider.  Let us love and adore our God who first loved us.  Let us have joy, peace and rest in the eternity of His love.  Let us be happy in Jesus.  God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit have no equals, there is no other God.  Praise our God!  Love our God!  Love our neighbor!  Worship our God! Live in the eternal joy that only those who love our God can know.  Love God!  Praise God!

Psalm 150:6 – Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord! 

Micah 7:7 – But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. 

Micah 6:8 – He has shown You, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of You but to do justly, to love mercy, And to walk humbly with Your God.
