Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones! For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord, a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him?
Psalm 89:5-7 (ESV)There is no one and nothing with whom or to whom we can compare God. God is so unique that any comparison of Him to anyone or anything falls woefully short. God is God. There is no other, will never be another, and never was another.
That is why those who know and love Him do not use comparisons to teach who He is. You cannot say God is like a good father because He is a good Father, and good fathers are judged by God's standard, not vice versa.
Whenever we hear that God is "like" something (unless it is something He compares Himself to in the Scriptures), we need to mentally adjust by thinking of the truth, or we risk diminishing who God is.
