ruly, we give You all the praise and honor for being our loving Father! Yes, a loving Father, who wants the very best for us, in this life and in the life soon to come. Indeed, there is no god like You. For You declared: “I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me” (Isaiah 44:6b; NASB). Indeed, You are in a distinguished class all by Yourself! You, O Lord, are exalted high above all! Indeed, You are “the Most High [who] is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever [You] wish” (Daniel 4:25; NASB). You are the God who “does according to [Your] will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth; and no one can ward off [Your] hand or say to [You], ‘What have You done?’” (Daniel 4:35; NASB)!
