In Psalms chapter seventy-seven Asaph said to Jehovah God, “I will meditate also of all your work, and talk of your doings”, and in chapter seventy-seven and verse thirteen of Psalms Asaph said, “Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary” where we read,
Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
The verse begins, “Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary:” Asaph began with the words, “Your way” or “your, the Divine judge Jehovah God's, manner, path and direction”, “O God” which means “O Divine judge, ruler and Supreme God”, “is in the sanctuary” or “exists within the set apart, sacred and holy place”. Asaph declared the manner and direction of the Divine judge Jehovah God to be within the sacred and holy place.
The verse continues, “who is so great a God as our God?” Asaph added the words, “who is so great a God” or “what person whether male or female exists as of more importance, intensity and distinguished a Divine judge, ruler and Supreme God” “as our God” which means “in likeness and similar to our, Asaph and his fellow countrymen's, Divine judge, ruler and Supreme God”? Asaph asked whether there existed any other god who was as important and distinguished as he and his fellow countrymen's God.
When we consider the words in this verse, we learn how Asaph said the manner and direction of Jehovah God is revealed within His sacred Holy place, and he questioned whether there was any other god who was as important and distinguished as his. The answer was obviously “no” because there is no other god like Jehovah God. God is the Creator and maker of the universe and mankind, and His desire is to have a personal relationship with us through His Son Jesus. He sent Jesus into the world to die on the cross for the sins of all mankind, and when we surrender our lives to Him as our “Savior and Lord”, He will forgive our sins, grant us everlasting life and assure us there is no one “greater” than He.
Next time Asaph says, “You are the God that does wonders”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until tomorrow…there is more…
