The more the Lord reveals to you about yourself the more you will know the Lord!
How great is little we know about Him?
Scripture says this in Psalm 71:19, “Also, Your righteousness, O God, is very high. You have done great things; O God, who is like You?” These are the words of King David. He is having one of those moments where he is exclaiming to himself and before God, how great God is.
We should all want those moments in our lives. The more we learn about Him the more we come to see just how little we know about Him. It is cause for us to try to tell ourselves just how great and awesome He is. David was doing that before Him.
Have we stood before our prayers and asked ourselves out loud, Lord, who is like You?” This is not a question as much as it is a declaration of just how great God is about the things we do not know about Him.
God loves those moments when we declare to Him how vast is the lack of knowledge we have of Him. When we have those moments, all we can do is to say, “Who is like You?” Nobody. Nobody is as awesome; nobody is as holy; nobody is as majestic; nobody is as powerful; nobody is as wonderful as is the Lord our God.
But even more is how awesome are the things we still do not know. Have you ever been so amazed at how much you thought you knew of the Lord only to learn that it is impossible to even think of how much you know because that is overshadowed by just how little you know?
Think about this. Ponder this. We cannot know more about the Lord because our minds cannot hold the knowledge there is about Him. But the way we can know more of Him is to realize how little we know of ourselves. God wants to tell us more about ourselves than we know. Allowing Him to reveal more about us to us is the best way for us to know more about Him.
There is no one like Him. He is the One. When there is a question that cannot be answered, He can answer it. When we don’t know what question to ask, He can ask. When we cannot decide on what to decide, He will guide us to the right decision.
David is saying to God, of all that I know of you, I am still left to exclaim, Who is like You?” We can find all the words we can find, to say what we know and how we feel, but to acknowledge the greatness of what we don’t know is better. Who is like You Lord?
Matthew 7:29 says there was a time Jesus taught the people. When He was done scripture says this is how the people responded. “And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, not as the scribes.”
The people were saying who among us is like this Man? No one. For He spoke not to teach us about something He knew like the scribes do daily. He did not teach us about what we did not know about the commandments. He opened to us what we did not know about ourselves.
How did He do that? No one else has ever done such a thing as that. If you want to have a deeper relationship with the Lord, consider doing what the people did in Matthew in response to Him and what David did in acknowledgement of Him.
Teachers teach but the Lord transforms. Teachers show but the Lord involves. Teachers tell but the Lord reveals. Who is like You Lord? Who?
Let this be your prayer someday. Lord, Who is like You? Of all the things I know of You, it is nothing compared to the things about me that I know that You want to reveal to me and to involve me and to transform me. Help me to learn to allow Your Word to read the book of my life to me. Help me to see what You see in me when You read my life.
When you ask for this in prayer, the Lord will show you more of Who He is by showing you more of who you really are. And yes, indeed, what you didn’t know will be greater, for each time you learn more about Him you learn that there is so much more about yourself that you do not know.
He loves that we acknowledge Him in this way. For indeed, Who is like Him? Who can accurately read our lives to us and tell us what He knows about us that we don’t even know? Nothing that calls itself a god is like our God. Who is like You Lord? No One!
