None beside You

"No one is holy like the LORD, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God. – I Samuel 2v3

‘There is none like You, no one else can touch my heart like You do, I can search for all eternity Lord and find, there is none like You.’

As soon as I read Hannah’s words this morning my thoughts went to this Christian song which is very popular today. It is a simple little song that expresses faith and an absolute trust that Hannah would easily identify with.

We are studying the Apostles’ Creed in our Bible study on Sunday nights. Matt is using the phrase ‘I believe in God, almighty…’ to look at the attributes of God. It is an excellent study and we are being blessed at seeing His uniqueness as seen in His attributes. He alone is all powerful. He alone is all knowing. He alone is everywhere at once. He alone is unchangeable. He along is eternal. He alone is self existing and self sustaining.

There is indeed none like our Lord. Try as we might and search as we might for all eternity we are only going to find that there is none beside Him in His holiness and strength and love and power and so much more.

In that light it is interesting to note that we still seldom seem content with Him alone. We are constantly seeking for more and better. Isn’t it a shame that that we don’t have the simple faith that Hannah had?
