None Like God
There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,
nor are there any works like yours.
All the nations you have made shall come
and worship before you, O Lord,
and shall glorify your name.
For you are great and do wondrous things;
you alone are God.
The world has created many gods. The world, through the ages, has worshipped many different gods. To the modern philosopher of life, god is just something a weak mind needs to be at ease with the world around them. Mankind, throughout history, has worshipped the heavens, the stars, animals, objects carved of wood or stone, mountains, lightening, thunder, other humans and countless imaginations of their hearts. Today’s gods tend to be formed by plastic and metal and become a status symbol. The gods of the internet vary as much as the gods of the past. In King David’s day the same things were true. Men were worshipping every imagination of their hearts. That is why this song was written by David. The above refrain of the song gives us the central theme: God alone is the true God. Notice that David’s points to God’s “wondrous work” as evidence of God and that He is the God “alone.” The gods of wood and metal and technology do nothing for us spiritually. They might enhance our life on this earth, but they do nothing to prepare our lives for heaven. God wonderful works, however, prepare us to meet Him and to live a life pleasing to Him. Here is what the writer of Hebrews stated about God’s wondrous works:
Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
In just these two verses we read the following wondrous works:
1. God brought us peace.
2. God raised Jesus from the dead.
3. God made Jesus the great shepherd for His sheep.
4. God establish a covenant with us by His blood.
5. God equips us to do His will.
6. God works within us that which is pleasing in His sight.
7. God does all this through the power of His Son, Jesus Christ.
God is God alone and His works prove it to be so!!
