There is no one like the God of Israel. He rides across the heavens to help you, across the skies in majestic splendour. The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you. He drives out the enemy before you; he cries out, \u2018Destroy them!\u2019
(Deuteronomy 33:26-27 NLT)<\/p>\n
My God isn’t like anything or anyone else. Nothing can compare!<\/p>\n
Think of all the help desks that we get, who just sit at the end of the phone, some as far away as India. God isn’t like that. He will actively help you, riding across the heavens to do it. He isn’t gone the minute you put the phone down, he’s eternal, always there. He isn’t aloof: his everlasting arms are under you, supporting you. And the best thing is that he doesn’t just fix your problem, he drives it out and destroys it!<\/p>\n
