【双语灵修】无人能与神相比THERE IS NO ONE LIKE GOD
以赛亚书 40:25;45:18-24
25 那圣者说:“你们将谁比我,叫他与我相等呢?” 18 创造诸天的耶和华,制造、成全大地的神——他创造、坚定大地,并非使地荒凉,是要给人居住——他如此说:“我是耶和华,再没有别神。 19 我没有在隐密黑暗之地说话,我没有对雅各的后裔说‘你们寻求我是徒然的’。我耶和华所讲的是公义,所说的是正直。 20 “你们从列国逃脱的人,要一同聚集前来。那些抬着雕刻木偶,祷告不能救人之神的,毫无知识。 21 你们要述说陈明你们的理,让他们彼此商议。谁从古时指明,谁从上古述说?不是我耶和华吗?除了我以外,再没有神。我是公义的神,又是救主,除了我以外,再没有别神。 22 地极的人都当仰望我,就必得救,因为我是神,再没有别神。 23 我指着自己起誓,我口所出的话是凭公义,并不返回:万膝必向我跪拜,万口必凭我起誓。 24 人论我说:‘公义、能力唯独在乎耶和华!人都必归向他,凡向他发怒的,必致蒙羞。

无人能与神相比
“那圣者说:你们将谁比我,叫他与我相等呢?” - 以赛亚书 40:25
主神是独一无二的。没有谁能与祂相比。祂是主,“除祂以外再没有别神”。神的伟大无可比拟,祂超越并凌驾于一切受造物之上。祂不需要通过创造宇宙来证明自己是神;在立地根基之前,祂早已是神。主不像人类凭想像制造出来的偶像;祂才是那位赐生命给万有的主宰。
神不像这世界的统治者那样脆弱或转瞬即逝。祂的宝座不可动摇,祂的国度永恒长存。祂绝不会被任何敌人或同盟所挑战或击败,在所有的争战中,神都是未曾战败的获胜者。祂不与任何人分享祂的荣耀,也不会分散祂的权力。相反,一切权柄和能力都在祂手中。
主的圣洁无可比拟,祂分别出来,跟万物与万人迥异。在祂里面毫无瑕疵,祂的本性纯净,所行的一切尽都完美。
摩西曾宣告:“耶和华啊,众神之中,谁能像你?谁能像你—至圣至荣,可颂可畏,施行奇事?”(《出埃及记》15:11)。
我们可以信靠神,因为祂的能力是无限的。祂的爱是永恒的,没有任何事物能使我们与这份爱隔绝。祂的智慧完美,因此祂的计划绝不会落空。
祷告
主啊,你在圣洁与权能上无可比拟。你是永恒且无与伦比的神。我们尊崇你。求你帮助我们信靠你

THERE IS NO ONE LIKE GOD
“To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One. —Isaiah 40:25
The Lord God is unique. There is no one like him. He is the Lord, “and there is no other.”
God is incomparably great. He is above and beyond all creation. He did not have to create the universe to be God; he was already God before the foundation of the earth. The Lord is not like idols made by human imagining; he is the one who gives life to all.
God is not vulnerable or fleeting like the rulers of this world. His throne is unshakable. His kingdom is eternal. He cannot be challenged or defeated by any enemy or coalition. God is the undefeated victor in all battles. He does not share his glory with anyone. He does not decentralize his power. On the contrary, in God’s hands are all power and authority.
The Lord is incomparably holy, separate from everything and everyone. In him there is no fault. He is pure in who he is and perfect in all he does.
Moses declared, “Who among the gods is like you, LORD? Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?” (Exodus 15:11).
We can trust in God because his power is unlimited. His love is eternal, and no one can separate us from that love. His wisdom is perfect, and therefore none of his plans can be thwarted.
Lord, you are incomparable in holiness and power. You are the eternal, unrivaled God. We worship you. Help us to trust that you have perfect wisdom, unchanging love, and sovereign authority. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
