SONG of MOSES:

“Who Is Like Unto Thee?” – A Study of Exodus 15:11

Core Question: When we ask, “Who is like unto thee?” what are we really declaring about our God and about our life together?

Key Verse

Exodus 15:11

“Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?”

1. “Who is like unto thee, O Lord…?”

Supporting Scriptures

• 2 Samuel 7:22 – Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
• D&C 76:2 (1–4) – Great is his wisdom, marvelous are his ways, and the extent of his doings none can find out.
• Psalm 86:8 – Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

What this means for us

• We worship a God without rival: No power, no idol, no philosophy compares to Him.
• We anchor our trust: Our confidence rests in the One whose works are past our understanding.
• We walk with confidence: The God who leads us is unlike anything the world can offer.
• We measure our lives by covenant: Not by culture, comparison, or trends, but by our relationship with Him.

Confession: There is no one like our God, and therefore there is no life like the one He invites us to live.

2. “…glorious in holiness…”

• Holiness is God’s work in us: We do not manufacture holiness; we receive and respond to it.
• Holiness restores our identity: We become a people who reflect His character in our worship, relationships, and choices.
• Holiness becomes our path: We walk the “way of holiness” together as a covenant community.

Confession: We don’t just admire His holiness—we are called to walk in it, receive it, and become partakers of it.

3. “…fearful in praises…”

“Fearful” here is not terror; it is awe. It is the weight of God’s presence that humbles us and lifts us at the same time.

What this means for us

• Our worship carries weight: We are not singing into the air; we are standing before the God who parts seas.
• Our praise becomes reverence, not routine: We refuse to treat worship as casual or empty.
• Our hearts bow together: As we praise, we recognize His nearness and His holiness.
• Our community worships with wonder: Awe becomes part of our unity and our shared testimony.

      "And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints."

      "Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."

Revelation 15:3-4 

Confession: Praise is not entertainment for us—it is encounter with the living God.

4. “…doing wonders.”

This is the God who parted the Red Sea, delivered Israel, raised the dead, healed the broken, redeemed the world, and continues to restore us today.

What this means for us

• We expect miracles: Wonders are not rare accidents; they are expressions of who He is.
• We trust His timing: His works are “past finding out,” but always wise and loving.
• We walk with hope: The God who acted then acts now in our lives, families, and recovery.
• We testify together: We share our stories of His wonders as living witnesses of His power.

Unified Principle for Us

When we ask, “Who is like unto Thee?” we are declaring that our God is incomparable in holiness, unmatched in power, and unrivaled in the wonders He performs. Because He is unlike any other, we become unlike any other people—a people shaped by His holiness, walking His path, worshiping with reverence, and trusting in His mighty works.
