Have you ever been the best at something? The best to the
point there was no competition. Like Michael
Jordan in his prime, or Michael Jackson. These people were the best in their
respective professions. People have been compared to them; however no one is
their equal. God’s greatness is incomparable. He stands alone as the ultimate
champion of everything which makes sense considering he created the universe. His
power is supreme, and his word is true.
To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me that we may
be like?” Isaiah 46:5
“…One shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of
his trouble.” Isaiah 46:7
“…for I am God, and there is none else; I am God and there is none like
me.” Isaiah 46:9
“…My counsel shall stand, and I will also bring it to pass; I have
purposed it, I will also do it.” Isaiah 46:10
There is no one who can be compared to God. No one has the
power to do what he can. God is in a category of his own. There are numerous
religions in our society and people who worship other gods, but when they cry out
to their gods their cries cannot be heard. Their gods cannot answer or save
them from trouble like our God! One of the most comforting parts in this passage
is knowing what God has spoken will come true. His purpose will happen! We can
trust God and rest assured in his power and have confidence in what he says
will come true. As Paul states in Ephesians, “Finally my brethren, be strong in
the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Ephesians 6:10
When we go through tough situations we can stand strong in
the power of God. He has prepared us to be able to stand against attacks in our
lives. He has given us the armor of God as our protection. “Put on the whole
armour of God, that ye may be able to stand the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians
6:11 The Lord’s armor can be found in Ephesians 6:14-17.
“Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having
on the breastplate of righteousness:”
“And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace:”
“Above all taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God.”
I once heard Jentezen
Franklin, preach a powerful message comparing Christians to the Spartan
warriors in the famed movie 300. In the movie one of the most important pieces
of the Spartans armor was their shield. They moved as a single unit and all of the
warriors had to be able to hold their shield at a certain height in order to
protect themselves and their fellow Spartans. The shield served to protect them
from the weapons of the enemy. Similarly, to us God has enabled us with the
shield of faith, that we are able to be protected from the weapons of the
devil. Remember when you are facing attacks in your life to put on the whole
armor of God!
Stay Blessed and Continue Warring for Christ!
