The Incomparable God
B. Bailey. Exodus 15:11 Who is like to you, O LORD, among the gods? who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? I. WHO IS LIKE UNTO THEE, O LORD, AMONG THE GODS? 1. King of kings and Lord of lords! Who among the gods is like unto Thee in majesty and power? Well might Israel exultingly make this inquiry. 2. Who is like unto Thee in the ineffable purity of Thy nature? "Glorious in holiness!" 3. Who is like unto Thee in the solemnity and sanctity of Thy worship? — "fearful in praises!" The gloriously holy God is alone worthy to be praised, but that praise ought to be offered with "reverence and godly fear." II. WHO DOES LIKE THEE? — "doing wonders." 1. The wonders alluded in the text were undoubtedly the miracles recently wrought by Jehovah for the salvation of His people. "Thou art the God that doest wonders," etc. (Psalm 77:14-20). 2. But not only miracles, which imply an inversion or suspension of the laws of nature, but nature and her laws — every part of the work of God in the heavens and in the earth is wonderful, and amply shows forth the power and wisdom of the Creator (Job 37:14-23; Psalm 8:3, 4; Psalm 19:1-7). If we only study our own frame, we shall be led to exclaim with the Psalmist, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made!" 3. The Lord sometimes does wonders in judgment, flood, etc. 4. The Lord does wonders in mercy. Redemption. (B. Bailey.) Parallel Verses KJV: Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
