Who Is Like Him?

[intra]

As for God, his way is perfect:

the word of the Lord is tried:

he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

For who is God save the Lord?

or who is a rock save our God?

It is God that girdeth me with strength,

and maketh my way perfect.

He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet,

and setteth me upon my high places.

He teacheth my hands to war,

so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:

and thy right hand hath holden me up,

and thy gentleness hath made me great.

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me,

that my feet did not slip.

 

(Psalm 18:30-36)

[intra]

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever:

with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever:

thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

I have made a covenant with my chosen,

I have sworn unto David my servant,

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations.

Selah.

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD:

thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? 

who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,

and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee?

or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

(Psalm 89:1-   

[intra]

Praise ye the LORD.

 

Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

 

Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

 

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised.

 

The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

 

Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,

 

Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

 

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

 

That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

 

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children.

 

Praise ye the LORD.

 

(Psalm 113) 

[Ahab]

Our Lord is like his Father, and my goal is to become like both of them.

You will not stop me.

[intra]

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things:

O God, who is like unto thee!

Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again,

and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

 

I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God:

unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee;

and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long:

for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

(Psalm 71:19-24) 

[intra]

And I said, This is my infirmity: 

but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

I will remember the works of the LORD:

surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:

who is so great a God as our God?

Thou art the God that doest wonders:

thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people,

the sons of Jacob and Joseph.

Selah.

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee;

they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound:

thine arrows also went abroad.

The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven:

the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters,

and thy footsteps are not known.

Thou leddest thy people like a flock

by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

(Psalm 77:10-20) 

[intra]

Our Lord is like his Father, and my goal is to become like both of them.

You will not stop me.

who can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus the Lord? 

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

(Romans 8:37-39) 

i will not hope in myself, but in the power and faithfulness of the One true God  

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses:

but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

(Psalm 20:7) 

oh God, who is like you? no one is able to snatch from your hand what you have set apart for your purpose! 

[intra]

Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power:

thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee:

thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.

And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together,

the floods stood upright as an heap, 

and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil;

my lust shall be satisfied upon them;

I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them:

they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods?

who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

 

(Exodus 15:6-11)

Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
(Exodus 3:14) 

Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. 

Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
(John 8:57-59) 
 

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth.

Jesus saith unto them, I AM.

And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 

As soon then as he had said unto them, I AM, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
(John 18:4-6)

LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath,

Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
(Romans 9:20) 

 

When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. 

For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
(Luke 14:8-11)

God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Rejoice the soul of thy servant:

for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive;

and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer;

and attend to the voice of my supplications.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee:

for thou wilt answer me.

 

Among the gods there is none like unto thee,

O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;

and shall glorify thy name.

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:

thou art God alone.

 

Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth:

unite my heart to fear thy name.

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:

and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

For great is thy mercy toward me:

and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

(Psalm 86:4-13)

What's going your point exactly?

Jesus said that those who receive the Word are gods. So I suppose those that receive the Word are like Him.

So foolish was I, and ignorant:

I was as a beast before thee.

Nevertheless I am continually with thee:

thou hast holden me by my right hand.

Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

 

Whom have I in heaven but thee?

and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

My flesh and my heart faileth: 

but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish:

thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

But it is good for me to draw near to God:

I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
