NO ROCK LIKE OUR GOD JEHOVAH!
“There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.” – 1 Samuel 2:2
*Comment:* One of the names and titles of God Almighty Jehovah our Father is Rock. Bible Scholars call Him “Rock of Ages”. The name and title, Rock denotes one that is established, that no force or power can move Him and therefore He (God) stands as an immovable defense, refuge and protector of those who place their trust in/on Him. – Exodus 6:3; Deuteronomy 32:1-4, 31,16-20; Exodus 8:17-19; 9:27-30,33-35; etc.
Hannah, the mother of Samuel (child of vow) in the Holy Bible declared: “There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. The bows of the mighty men are broken, ….He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them. – 1 Samuel 2:2-8; Luke 1:46-55; etc.
Ahaziah was king in Israel and he fell sick. Instead of seeking help from God Almighty, the God of Israel, he sent messengers to seek the help of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron. God sent Elijah, the Tishbite, His prophet to ask him, thus: “….Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? Now therefore thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.” – 2 Kings 1:3,4.
Instead of king Ahaziah to humble himself and ask God for forgiveness. He retained stubbornness and died according to the word of God through Elijah (2 Kings 1:1-17). Indeed, there is no Rock like God. Read 2 Samuel 22:1-7, 22-27, 31-33; Psalm 31:1-3,6; 71:3; Proverbs 18:10; Isaiah 40:18; etc.
What is more, God Almighty Himself declared: “To whom then will ye liken Me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.”(Isaiah 40:25; 45:5-6; 46:5). There is no Rock like our God JEHOVAH.
*Prayer:* Our Father and God in heaven. There is no God like Thee or beside Thee, none can be compared or be equal with Thee. We trust in Thee Father. Help us from our sins. It is You only we know and will worship for Blessings and Salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
