Who is like unto thee?
Exodus 15:11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
The Song of Moses and Miriam posed in the verse above invites us to meditate on the unique and unparalleled nature of our God. This verse is part of the song sung by Moses and the Israelites after their miraculous deliverance from the Egyptians at the Red Sea, celebrating God’s majesty and His mighty acts.
From the verses of the song, we can see the uniqueness of God's nature which is Holiness. His holiness sets Him apart from all other beings. Unlike the gods of Egypt or the idols worshiped by surrounding nations, our God is not tainted by sin or corruption.
He is pure, perfect, and wholly other. In Isaiah 6:3, we read the seraphim’s cry, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory." God's holiness is a beacon that illuminates His moral perfection and unapproachable light.
As followers of a holy God, we are called to reflect His holiness in our lives. 1 Peter 1:16 reminds us, "Be ye holy; for I am holy." This means striving for purity in our thoughts, words, and deeds, and allowing God's sanctifying work to transform us daily.
"...fearful in praises..."
This phrase captures the awe and reverence that God's mighty acts inspire. To praise God is to acknowledge His power and majesty. The Israelites stood in amazement at the Red Sea, witnessing firsthand the power of God to save and deliver.
Our worship should reflect this awe. When we gather to praise God, it should not be with casual familiarity but with a deep sense of reverence and wonder. Let our worship be a true reflection of our recognition of God’s power and majesty.
"...doing wonders?"
The God we serve is a God of miracles. From the creation of the world to the parting of the Red Sea, from the manna in the wilderness to the resurrection of Jesus, God's deeds are wondrous. These wonders reveal His omnipotence and His intimate involvement in the lives of His people.
In our lives, we should remain expectant and open to God's miraculous intervention. While we may not see seas parting, we do witness God's wonders in the form of answered prayers, transformed lives, and His providence in our daily circumstances. Let us celebrate and testify of God's wondrous deeds, encouraging one another in faith.
In conclusion, Who is like unto thee, O Lord?" is a question that invites us to recognize and declare that there is none like our God. He is uniquely holy, deserving of reverent praise, and mighty in wonders. As we meditate on His attributes and mighty acts, let our hearts be filled with awe and gratitude.
God bless you.
