Who is Like You?

I am in a good place this morning. I have this internal “glow”. This morning I have such clarity. I can see and feel my God and this morning I take such comfort in the circumstances of life recognizing and taking solace in the complete sovereignty of God.

As we can see 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?

Now the question will be what do we do, how do we react when our place, our circumstances put us in a position where our clarity is not so good and our “glow” seems distant? Which direction does this take us? You know, life is full of these times and the question really is where will we turn? Who will we trust? The circumstances of life cause deep emotions, and how we react to these emotions become important.

I am continually amazed by the revelations I get in the times I turn to God. Christ provides the answer. I recently was reading Matthew 26 and the emotion of the garden just hit me full force. Can you see it?

36Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." 37He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me." 39Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."

Do you see the example Christ provides in the most trying of circumstances? He turns to our most gracious heavenly Father in prayer and reminds us; yet not as I will, but as You will. He reminds us that trusting God will not always be easy, trusting that God does have a plan for His glory and our ultimate good!

Father, who is like You?

Grace and Peace!
