He is unique

“But He is unique, and who can make Him change?

And whatever His soul desires, that He does.

For He performs what is appointed for me,

And many such things are with Him. – Job 23.13-14

I appreciate being privy to the things going on in Job’s heart and mind as he deal with his many troubles. On one hand he says ‘I don’t get it’ and on the other hand he says ‘I know God has this.’ I like that because that is how I think nearly every day.

Here is one of the aspects of God that Job clings to – ‘God is unique and who can make Him change?’

There have been and still are all kinds of supposed deities and false gods. Today, of course, man has just tried to write God off completely. But still, there seem to be a lot of differences of opinion about who God is and how we know which is the real god.

Job uses God’s uniqueness to explain what sets Him apart from man or any other ideas of godness. He is unique, there is no one else like Him.

There are a lot of ways to see God’s uniqueness. He is all knowing. He is all powerful. He is everywhere. He never changes. Those alone would be enough to set Him apart.

But what amazes me is His capacity to love everyone. He loves those who reject Him and hate Him. He is unique because He is love. He is unique because He is always there for me and He is unique because He works all things together for good.

There is none like God.
