THERE
IS NONE LIKE YOU LORD
BREAD
5 Your
love, O Lord, reaches to the
heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. 6 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your
justice like the great deep. O Lord,
you preserve both man and beast. 7 How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and
low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. 8 They feast on the abundance of
your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. 9 For with you is the fountain
of life; in your light we see light. Psalms 36:5-9 (NIV)
19 Your
righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, you who have done great things. Who,
O God, is like you? Psalms 71:19 (NIV)
8 O Lord God Almighty, who is like you? You
are mighty, O Lord, and your
faithfulness surrounds you. Psalms 89:8
(NIV)
11 The
heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that
is in it. Psalms 89:11 (NIV)
14 Righteousness
and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before
you. 15 Blessed
are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your
presence, O Lord. 16 They rejoice in your name all
day long; they exult in your righteousness. 17 For you are their glory and
strength, and by your favor you exalt our horn. Psalms 89:14-17 (NIV)
13 Who
has understood the mind of the Lord,
or instructed him as his counselor? 14 Whom did the Lord
consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way? Who was it that
taught him knowledge or showed him the path of understanding? Isaiah 40:13-14 (NIV)
25 “To
whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One. 26 Lift your eyes and look to the
heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one,
and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing. 27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, “My
way is hidden from the Lord; my
cause is disregarded by my God”? 28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator
of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his
understanding no one can fathom. Isaiah
40:25-28 (NIV)
33 Oh,
the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable
his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! 34 “Who has known the mind of the
Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” 35 “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?”
36 For
from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory
forever! Amen. Romans 11:33-36 (NIV)

“God is indeed the Sovereign of all things, the One to
whom all creatures are accountable and whom all should glorify. He is under no
obligation to repay anyone, for
no one has ever given Him
anything. Paul concluded, For from Him
and through Him and to Him are all things. God is the first Cause, the
effective Cause, and the final Cause of everything. His deep ways are beyond
man's discovering; beyond man's knowing, beyond man's counseling, and beyond
man's giving. “All things” come from Him and by means of Him and are for Him
and His glory. Therefore, To Him be the
glory forever! Amen. God is the only proper One to magnify. The
all-sovereign God deserves the praise of all His creatures.” Bible
Knowledge Commentary
“Where does your security lie? Is God
your refuge, your hiding place, your stronghold, your shepherd, your counselor,
your friend, your redeemer, your saviour, your guide? If He is, you don't need
to search any further for security.” Elisabeth Elliot
“‘I am the Alpha and the Omega’ says the Lord God, ‘who
is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty (Revelation 1:8).’ The
opening lines of the book of Revelation declare to us a God unlimited by time,
so much so that he determines its beginning and its end. His eternal nature is
written large and often across the pages of Scripture. The Bible begins with a
time stamp, "in the beginning," and then spends 66 books describing
the God who decrees seasons and times but is not bound by them in the least.
Free to act within time as he wills, he exists outside of it. He is
simultaneously the God of the past, present and future, ending time
to his perfect will, unfettered by its constraints. The past holds for him no
missed opportunity. The present holds for him no anxiety. The future holds
for him no uncertainty. He was, and is, and is to come.” Jen Wilkin
Romans
1:21-23 puts it this way: “What happened
was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn’t treat him like
God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and
confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives.
They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded
the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you
can buy at any roadside stand.” The Message
“God says, ‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor
are your ways My ways’ (Isaiah 55:8). We live on promises, not on explanations.
We shouldn't spend too much time asking why.” Greg
Laurie
“When ours are interrupted, his are
not. His plans are proceeding exactly as scheduled, moving us always (including
those minutes or hours or years which seem most useless or wasted or
unendurable).”
Elisabeth Elliot
“Number One: Fall in love with the One who is The Way — and the way you’re supposed to go will follow…. as you follow Him. You’ve got to want to be one with Him — more than you want to be a Someone. You’ve got to want to serve more than you want to be seen, you’ve got to care more than you want to be comfortable, you’ve got to want to give more than you want to get. You’ve got to want His approval more than all the other things that will prove to be worthless.” Ann Voskamp
HEART
SAVOR
- · When I consider your works and your ways Lord, what is man that you are even mindful of him?
- · Amazing love how can it be that thou my Christ should die for me?
- · For God so loved the world that He gave. My humble adoration is the only proper response.
