"There is none like You"

Text: Jeremiah 10:7

A CORRECT RESPONSE

Jeremiah saw the idolatrous practices indulged in by the children of Israel. He was heart-sick because of all that he saw. Swiftly, his heart responded.

“Inasmuch as there is none like You, O LORD
(You are great, and Your name is great in might),
Who would not fear You, O King of the nations?
For this is Your rightful due.
For among all the wise men of the nations,
And in all their kingdoms,
There is none like You.”
Jeremiah 10:6-7

1. “Inasmuch as there is none like You, O LORD (You are great, and Your name is great in might)”

a) There is truly none like the LORD.
b) Two things were highlighted:
i) The greatness of the Being of God.
ii) The greatness of the name of God in His might.

2. “Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For this is Your rightful due.”

a) Fear of the LORD
i) As one would fear an earthly king.
ii) How much would one fear the King of the nations!
b) The rightful due
i) Fear or reverence of God is rightful.
ii) It is due to the LORD.

3. “For among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like You.”

a) Wisdom was greatly prized in the ancient days.
b) There were many who were acclaimed as “wise men of the nations”.
c) The LORD in comparison
i) Jeremiah pitted the Lord against all the wisemen in all the nations/ kingdoms.
ii) His conclusion: There was none like the LORD!

The challenge to all was obvious! The LORD is to be revered and held in highest esteem! There is no one who could compare with Him!
