Our Own Ears

I Chronicles 17:20 There is no one like you, Lord, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.

We sing songs at church that express these same sentiments of telling the Lord there is no one like him, no other God but him, etc. and we “hear” ourselves say the words.

But do we really “hear” what we’re singing and what it means to voice those truths?

There is no one like our Lord – in power, in strength, in wisdom, and in love.   No one. This means he is worthy of our honor and worship.

There is no God but him – all other gods and idols are worthless, need to be destroyed, and must be out of our lives.  This means we put him first in all that we do.

Sometimes we have to really hear what we’re singing and saying with our OWN ears before it sinks into our OWN hearts and we arise in true worship.

There is no one like you, Lord,

There is no God but you….

Sing it out loud until you hear what it is you are singing…
