SylviaThe daily news can sound rather hopeless. There are wars and rumors of wars, global warming, economic challenges, and the list could go on. For some it is not the big global issues that have struck your heart with fear. It is the family member facing a debilitating disease, a broken relationship that seems irreconcilable, or a problem that seems too big to handle.

Gaze into the night sky to enjoy the stars in their full splendor. God is so mighty that he spoke this vast universe into existence. At the same time he is so intimate that he calls each star by name and not one of them is missing. How much more so does he care about us and what concerns us today? When have you asked the one question that you need to be asking? All of our "Why?" and "What if?" questions are answered in this one question, the "Who" question, "Who is a God like ours?"

Who is a God like me? says the Holy One.

To whom will you compare Me? Who is My equal? Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? I bring out the starry host one by one and call them each by name. Because of My great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. Isaiah 40:25-26

I AM God and there is no other.

I am God, and there is none like Me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. Isaiah 46:9-10

Who among the gods is like you, O Lord?

...majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? In Your unfailing love You will lead the people You have redeemed. In Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling. Exodus 15:11,13

There is none like the Lord our God.

We know that the Lord is God; besides Him there is no other. From heaven He made us hear His voice. On earth we heard His words from out of the fire. Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. Deuteronomy 4:35,36,39

Who is a God like you, O sovereign Lord?

You have begun to show to Your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do the deeds and mighty works You do? Deuteronomy 3:24

There is none like the God of Israel.

You ride on the heavens to help us and on the clouds in Your majesty. You are the eternal God, our refuge, and underneath are Your everlasting arms. You will drive out our enemy before us. You are great, and Your name is mighty in power. Who should not revere You, O King of the nations? This is Your due. Among all the wise men of the nations and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like You. Deuteronomy 33:26-27, Jeremiah 10:6-7

Who is a God like you?

My whole being exclaims, "Who is like You, O Lord? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them." Psalm 35:10

There is none other like you,

...O Lord, God of lsrael, in heaven above or on earth below. You keep Your covenant of love with Your servants who continue wholeheartedly in Your way. You have kept Your promise. With Your mouth You have promised and with Your hand You have fulfilled it. 1 Kings 8:23-24

Who, O God, is like you?

Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, You who have done great things. Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so great as our God? Psalm 71:19, 77:13

There is none like you, O Lord.

No deeds can compare with Yours. For You are great and do marvelous deeds, You alone are God. You put to death and You bring to life, You have wounded and You will heal, and no one can deliver from Your hand. Psalm 86:8,10; Deuteronomy 32:39

Who is like the Lord our God?

...who sits enthroned on high, who looks down on the heavens and the earth? Psalm 113:5-6

I AM the Lord, and there is no other, says the Lord.
Apart from Me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged Me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting men may know there is none besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other. I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things. Isaiah 45:5-7

Who is a God like me, says the Lord.

Do not tremble, do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? You are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.
Isaiah 44:8

There is none like me, says the Lord.

There is no God apart from Me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but Me. Turn to Me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which men must be saved. Isaiah 45:21-22, Acts 4:12
