"Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?"~ Exodus 15:11
And if we really grasped even part of this we would be like Job who said:
“I am unworthy—how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth. I spoke once, but I have no answer— twice, but I will say no more.” (Job 40:4 - 5)Or like Isaiah who cried out, "Woe is me! I have seen the Lord and King!" (Isa. 6:5) Or like John who was the Beloved disciple reclining against our Lord, yet when he saw the Risen and Glorious Lord, he fell at the Lord's feet as dead! (Rev. 1:17)
O Lord, grant us sight that we may see you better. Our frail and earthly eyes are clouded by things around us—things that do not last, that do not satisfy. Our hearts need you else restless we will ever be. Let us see that you are ever with us. Let us desire with increasing singularity nothing besides You. For our heart and flesh will fail, but You, O God, are our strength and our portion forever. Amen.
Exodus 15:11 sung in Russian, a cappella. A small sense of the grandeur of God!
