Read Psalm 115.
The God of the Bible is unique. There is none like Him and there is no
true God besides Him. The song begins with the praise, giving Him glory.
Some question the very existence of God. Many believe there is a God in
heaven, but often question what He does or does not do. However, the God
of the Bible is not accountable to His creation. "Our God is in the
heavens; he does all that he pleases." (v.3)
If a person rejects the God of the Bible the greater question is, "What is
the alternative?" They are left to their own made up religious
devices. They turn their faith to objects they made with their own hands.
But those manufactured idols do not work, do not speak, do not hear, do
not do anything or any good. Some worship the creation, instead of the
Creator. Others, place their faith in a philosophy of one kind or another
in an attempt to rationalize God out of their conscience. But none of
those alternatives address their need of the forgiveness of sin and assurance
of eternity.
The God of the Bible is the only One who personally involves Himself in our
lives. Three times in verses 9-11 we are reminded that He is our help and
shield. In other words, He is the provider of what we need and He is our
protector.
“Not to us, O
LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast
love and your faithfulness!”
