The Solitariness of God

I've been studying the Attributes of God for the past few days, from the book, Attributes of God, by A. W. Pink, which can be found online here. It has been a wonderful study so far, and an important one. If you don't know the character of God, it is more difficult to trust Him, and to believe what He says in the Scriptures.

Today I was reading about the Solitariness of God. Here are one of the Scriptures that was given in the book:

Exodus 15:11 “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?"

Think about that! There is NONE like God, no one else who is majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, and doing wonders. It is nearly breathtaking to think about.

And, look at this from Malachi:

Malachi 3:6 “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed."

James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change."

We change from day to day, we can be moody one day, or joyful one day, and be depressed the next. But God is not like that. He never changes, He is the same, which brings to my mind this verse from Hebrews:

Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

It's comforting to know that God does not change like we do. He can be trusted to be the same, day after day after day. He can be counted on, He can be trusted, and His promises can be relied upon. His Word is truth.

I will post some more of the Scriptures from that chapter tomorrow.
