I have found that there is an abundance of music for me to choose from for my musical writings. I have also found that I’m amazed when I realize I haven’t written about specific songs that have touched me deeply through the years. Today’s song is one of those songs.

I am coming to a close in my Bible study of Gideon and while I was very excited for the possibilities of Gideon and Israel, I was disappointed that in the end, the Hebrew nation returned to their idol worship. But, I knew better. I’ve read Scripture. I’ve studied the Old Testament. I knew Israel continued in their cycle of following God and turning from God. But I thought this time, just this time, they would have understood.

You see, Israel searched and searched for what would satisfy their spiritual longing. They worshiped all of the idols their pagan neighbors worshiped. All the while, the One they were looking for was right in front of them.

I realize that I do the same thing in my life. I search and search for the one thing to satisfy me…and all the while my Creator who created me to crave Him and Him alone, stands before me.

Perhaps you do the same thing.

So what are some of the idols we exalt in our lives instead of God? Possessions, passions, goals, hobbies, habits, entertainment, eating, desires, a person. This is the short list. But you and I know that any one of these things can and will take priority over God if we allow it in our lives.

When we are convicted by God’s Spirit that we have an idol to remove, it’s time to toss it out to the curb. No questions. No excuses. No deals.

Israel had many opportunities to follow and serve the One True God. My friend, we do too. As today’s song says, “we can search for all eternity Lord, and find, there is none like You.”

Nothing will ever be able to take the place of God in our lives. So isn’t it about time we stop trying? Please don’t let another day go by without making God the Lord of your life…all of your life. Perhaps you can begin by singing this song.

“There is None Like You”

There is none like You,

No one else can touch my heart like You do,

I can search for all eternity Lord

And find, there is none like You.

There is none like You.

No one else can touch my heart like You do,

I can search for all eternity Lord

And find, there is none like You.

Your mercy flows like a river wide,

And healing comes from Your hand.

Suffering children are safe in Your arms,

There is none like You.

There is none like You.

No one else can touch my heart like You do,

I can search for all eternity Lord

And find, there is none like You.[i]
