The One True God
“I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other." - Isaiah 45:5-6
The world is filled with many gods, idols, and distractions. God declares boldly, He alone is the Lord, the One true God. His power and majesty are unmatched, and His sovereignty extends from sunrise to sunset, over all the earth.
What strikes me most about these verses is God's grace. He mentions that He will strengthen those who do not even acknowledge Him. It’s a testament to His incredible mercy, that in His sovereignty, He works to bring people to know Him, even when they are unaware of His presence.
This truth is foundational for us as believers: there is no other besides Him. Recognizing His uniqueness deepens our worship, fuels our trust, and reminds us to place no other idols or pursuits above Him.
Take a moment to reflect on God's sovereignty. Worship Him for being the one true God, faithful, powerful, and deserving of all honor. Share this truth boldly with others; let the world know that our hope and salvation are found solely in the Lord.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I adore You because You are the one true God. There is no other like You, worthy of all my praise and obedience. Thank You for Your mercy and grace, even when I do not acknowledge You fully. Empower me to live in the awareness of Your sovereignty and to declare Your greatness to others. Be glorified through my life today and always. In Jesus’ name, I pray.
Amen
