Who is like the LORD our God, Who dwells on high, Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?--Psalm 113:5-6
Psalm 113 is a psalm of praise. Who is like our God! He who dwells on high and of incomprehensible glory, humbles Himself to care about the things that are in the heavens and in the earth. God is mindful of us! This is inconceivable! Take a few minutes to really contemplate it. Go to these verses in Psalm 113 and find some parallel ones yourself that speak of our God's humility. The Bible is replete with passages that confirm God's earnest love and care for us. His Son came into the world for the very purpose of taking our sin upon Him and dying in our place. Jesus came to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many. He taught that the way to greatness was the path of humility.
Our flesh is so strong...even saved we forget what our God has done for us and react in pride. Many of us turn our backs to Him and stamp our feet like little children refusing to give way. Think about the arrogance of our behavior...God has stooped down from His place in heaven to offer us...His rebellious, insolent creatures reconciliation! He has ripped open the fabric of the universe to peer down and speak directly to us and many of us refuse to hear! Again, read the Bible...it is replete with His entreaties, His persuasions and His beseechings...He does not want any of us to perish but all to come to Him and receive new life! He is your Father beseeching you with much earnest to come and to live! He has shown you the way. He who dwells on high has reached down to you...raise your hand up out of the dunghill to Him and see for yourself as you walk with Him that there truly is NONE LIKE HIM!
