Psalm 77:13

Psalm 77:13

What god is as great as our God?

Who among the gods is like You, Lord? Who is like You – majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?” Exodus 15:11. Don Moen put these words into a song that we sang 30 – 40 years ago.


Who is like unto Thee
O Lord among the gods?
Who is like unto Thee
Glorious in holiness,
Fearful in praises,
Doing wonders,
Who is like unto Thee?

The “gods” in Hebrew are the “elohim”, as opposed to God who is Elohim. These lesser beings are other spiritual beings who have been worshipped by mankind as they have taken on thousands of different guises over the centuries. They may well manifest themselves as gods such as those worshipped by the Romans and Greeks and other pagan nations. They are certainly the lesser gods of Buddhism and Hinduism and the god, Allah. The human race has even elevated men and women to the position of gods, such is man’s reluctance to worship the One and Only True Elohim. And the Satan has conjured up these lesser beings to draw attention away from the truth. 

Well might we ask, “Who is like Him, glorious in holiness? Who amongst the gods is as great as our God?” There is none greater and what a comfort to know that we worship the supreme Being, the superior spiritual entity that is greater than all that have been created or imagined. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Psalm 4:1 Smear campaigns

Psalm 4:1    Smear campaigns   The background to this Psalm is so familiar; David is being slandered and maligned by his detractors.  It seems that some calamity has befallen the nation and the king is getting the blame! Lies are being told, a smear campaign has begun, and the reputation of the Sovereign is under threat.  As usual, if something goes wrong, culpability is laid at the feet of the one in charge.  David, quite rightly, turns to the Lord his God and prays for relief and for mercy. The Satan is a master of such campaigns and his emissaries gleefully turn on Christians in leadership positions although the whispering campaign can affect all of us. The whispering starts in our own heads, but it can also come from the lips of our detractors. It goes something like this: - You’re the reason it went wrong You messed up again You should have seen it coming Surely you know better You are not worthy You don’t know what you’re doing Someone else ought to be in c

Psalm 74:16

Psalm 74:16 God established the sun and the moon “ In  the beginning   God created   the heavens   and the earth.   2  Now the earth was formless   and empty,   darkness was over the surface of the deep,   and the Spirit of God   was hovering over the waters. 3  And God said,   “Let there be light,” and there was light.   4  God saw that the light was good,   and he separated the light from the darkness.   5  God called   the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.”   And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.” These, so familiar, words from Genesis 1 remind us of who is in charge! There would be no light without God. There would be no day or night without God. There would be no earth without God. And there would have been no living things unless God had created order out of chaos. The sun, moon and stars would not be fixed in their orbits without God and you and I would not exist unless He ordered our conception. It is because we see God as glorious, righteous

Psalm4:8        I will lie down and sleep                Th ere are times, in the life of all believers, when we no longer have control of situations. We can do nothing more. We have given our all, we have tried every possible solution and now it is out of our hands. As someone has wisely said, “It is time to let go and let God.” If we truly trust Him, if our faith will allow us, we can turn our backs on our enemies. We can block our ears to the threats. We can ignore the lies and the deceit and say,  “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone Lord, make me dwell in safety.” I should imagine that the devil, having sent a hurricane our way is not amused, when we settle in our beds in the midst of it all and drift off into a peaceful sleep! But that is our right and privilege once we let the Lord God Almighty take control. These spiritual attacks are like whirlwinds, they blow with terrifying intensity and threaten to turn us upside down; the disciples witnessed one of thes
