In our minds, to whom do we compare God with?\u00a0 To us, does the devil match up to God?\u00a0 Is he able to stand beside, or above God?\u00a0 Is he able to thrust a spear through God to pierce us?\u00a0 If we get sick, is that sickness greater than God?\u00a0 If we are tempted, maybe repeatedly, is the temptation, or sin, greater than God?\u00a0 Is the person, the human being, that God created, greater than his Creator God?\u00a0 Do we know anyone like Jesus who is God in the flesh?\u00a0 Whom do we know that never, not ever, sinned?\u00a0 The answer is no-one, not grandma and not the cute toddler whom we love and whose smile \u201ckills us.\u201d Who stepped down from perfect joy and serenity to come and suffer and die for us before being resurrected?\u00a0 Let us consider how many of our friends would\u00a0truly<\/i>\u00a0die for us? Who could die and then resurrect Himself?\u00a0 Who knows all our despicable works and thoughts and still would die for us?\u00a0 Who loves even those who refuse Him until the day they die?\u00a0 Who forever loves those who love Him forever?\u00a0 Who has the power to absolutely protect and provide in every way He desires?\u00a0 In our minds, whom can be compared to God and stand?\u00a0 We know that all wither and crawl away at even the thought of the comparison.<\/p>\n

Whom can stand beside God to be compared to Him?\u00a0 We know the answer.\u00a0 None are worthy to be compared to God, and least of all, ourselves.<\/p>\n

Since God has no equal, none even close, and since God loves us and always protects us, let us not worry or fear.\u00a0\u00a0 Let us not crave anything but God.\u00a0 Only God can fully satisfy the soul and none other.\u00a0 There is no worthy comparison for God.\u00a0 It is silly to even consider.\u00a0 Let us love and adore our God who first loved us.\u00a0 Let us have joy, peace and rest in the eternity of His love.\u00a0 Let us be happy in Jesus.\u00a0 God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit have no equals, there is no other God.\u00a0 Praise our God!\u00a0 Love our God!\u00a0 Love our neighbor!\u00a0 Worship our God! Live in the eternal joy that only those who love our God can know.\u00a0 Love God!\u00a0 Praise God!<\/p>\n

Psalm 150:6<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Micah 7:7<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear\u00a0me.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Micah 6:8<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0He has shown You, O man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; And what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of You but to do justly, to love mercy, And to walk humbly with Your God.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
