There Is None Like God

Readings:
II Chronicles 14
Acts 21:27-40

Focus:
II Chronicles 14:11a: "Asa called to the Lord his God and said, 'There is none like you, Lord, to help men, whether strong or weak....'"

When King Asa of Judah went out to battle, he did not rely merely upon his own military strength, but rather he called upon God for help. He knew where the greatest source of strength came from, for, as he said, there is none like God who is able to help humankind. No one can help us the way that God can.

God does not always help us in quite the way he helped Asa. He does not always help us win battles or competitions, or get promotions, or succeed in the eyes of the world. But he does help us get through the difficulties of life without despair; indeed, he helps us get through them with joy! He shows us purpose and gives us meaning. There is none like God to help us. No one can help us the way that God can.
