“He said, “O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like
You in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and showing lovingkindness to Your servants
who walk before You with all their heart,” – 1 Kings 8:23 (NASB)
It is common among all people for all time to believe in
more than one god. The “more than” are the invented gods that spring from the
imaginations of people who reject the one true God. Making comparisons causes
some who do not know God to think that there exists a choice in what god or
gods we might believe in. There is only one true God who is the God who created
all things. Solomon, the King of Israel knew and believe this truth. He makes
his affirmation in this verse which is a declaration of the truth and a promise
we can believe it. To believe in the actual existence of any other god is to
believe in false ideas of make-believe gods. Like Solomon, a wise man beyond
comparison on this earth we too can say in our prayers, “there is no God like You
in heaven above or on earth beneath.” The enemy of God is Satan and he is real
but he is not a god but a fallen angel who embodies many false gods. Let’s not be
led astray with the thought that there is any beside our Lord God to worship
and trust.
