God lives and works today. He never changes. That means that though many
seek to ignore or undermine His commandments, they still remain valid
for today.

And so does the resultant blessing which He has promised to those who
will hear and obey His voice. Today's meditation called A Great Present
by Basilia Schlink will tell us about this, one of God's greatest gifts
to mankind. No one like Thee, neither above in heaven, nor below here on
earth.

No one like Thee, Lord, no one like Thee. Who is like God? Who is like
God? No one like Thee, no one, no, none with Thee compares. The Ten
Commandments from Sinai and the various forms of them which shine forth
in the New Testament show us God's heart.

He shows us in these what He desires from us. He's given us the
commandments to show us the way to true happiness. It is the way of love
towards Him and our neighbor.

All the commandments are about love in one way or another. Sometimes
they tell us not to do the things which are against love, like murder,
theft, adultery, slander, and so on. They seek to keep us from sinning
against love.

But they're also holy, and we must cherish them and keep them holy. We
cannot simply do as we please according to our own discretion. The laws
of God are everlasting.

We can try to undermine them, but they will not collapse, for they've
been grounded in God Himself. We can declare them invalid or out of
date, but they cannot lose their validity. They remain binding for us.

Therefore, let's resolve to live our everyday lives in response to this
great offer of love. He who is eternal love, who has opened His heart to
us by giving us His commandments of love, is waiting for us to fulfill
these commandments in our lives through our Lord Jesus, so that
something of the kingdom of love might be made manifest in our midst.
There is no God, no God like Thee, neither above in heaven nor below
here on earth.

No one like Thee, Lord, no one like Thee. You have been listening to a
