Who among the gods is like you, O Lord? Who is like you – majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?
-Exodus 15:11
Consider that one of the wonders of God’s creation is that no two people are absolutely alike. Each and every person is unique in his or her own way. That included identical twins. They may look just alike, but there will be differences in personality and temperament. No one is exactly like you and no one is exactly like me. We are all unique and different. That is just one more example of the wonder of God’s creation. The evidence of the hand and power of God are all around us. God was inviting His people to step back and look at all that He had done. He accomplished all those mighty acts to further demonstrate to them that He is God Almighty. When Moses and the Israelites made it safely across the Red Sea which had been parted by the power of God, they proclaimed in Exodus 15:11 "Who among the gods is like you, O Lord? Who is like you – majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?”
God’s plan was that people come to Him in faith and believe that He is God. Whenever the Israelites began to turn away from God they started on a dangerous and terrible path. The same thing holds true today. When we reject God’s Word and His offer of salvation we do so at our own peril. To go through life with no faith in God is a dreadful way to live.
The fact that today people will believe just about anything, no matter how ridiculous, stems from a failure to believe in God. The evidence of God is everywhere, and that evidence is overwhelming.
