None beside God

"No one is holy like the LORD, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.  – 1 Samuel 2.2

‘There is none like you
No one else can touch my heart like You do
I could search for all eternity long
And find there is none like You’

These are the words from a popular and they certainly express the sentiment of Hannah as she continues to praise God for what he has done.

We have plenty of things that can draw us away from God today. The distractions are numerous. We can all find ourselves at times trying to squeeze God into our busy schedules.

And that should never be.

Nothing is more important than Him. Nothing is as strong as Him. Nothing is as holy as Him. He is all we need. There is no one beside Him.

We live in a day of great turmoil. At this moment the political futures of my birth country and my adopted country are in great question. We certainly can’t put any faith in politics and can’t afford to be diverted by that.

We certainly can’t depend on our economies. Who knows what is going to happen next?

Social media is fun and informative and maybe even useful – but it can distract us from the Lord. It's nothing compared to the Lord.

There is none like Him – no one and nothing.

Why then, do we chase after everything else?
