Introduction
(Text 5), “Where is there anyone like the Lord our God?” God is supreme in power, supreme in love, and supreme in every way, so there is no one like him in the world. He is an almighty God who does things that humans cannot do.
Why would you confess that there is no one like God?
1. He humbled himself.. (Verses 5-6)
“Where is there anyone like the Lord our God? You are on high, but you humbled yourself and searched all over the heavens and the earth.”
2. He lifts up the lowly ones and uses them (verses 7-8).
“He raises the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy out of the dung heap; he makes them sit down with the nobles, and with the nobles of the people.”
3. He gives blessings to offspring (verse 9).
“Even a woman who can’t bear children can live proudly in one house, and she makes a happy mother with many children.”
The same words are found in Exodus (Exodus 23:25-26). The word of God is, "I have made pregnant, and will not give birth, saith the LORD?" saith your God, "I am a laborer, how can I close the womb?" (Isaiah 66:9). Even Hannah could not conceive, but she prayed to God and gave birth to five children. Abraham also had a son when he was 100 years old. This is not something humans can do. This is something only God can do.
conclusion
There is no one like God in the world. Therefore, we have no regrets because we believe and follow Him as our Savior. God is the Creator and living God who insists on human life and death (1 Samuel 2:6-10).
