“THERE IS NO OTHER!”

Isaiah 45:4-6                                            (ESV)

“4 For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel MY CHOSEN, I call you by your name, I name you, though you do not know ME. 

5 I am the LORD, and “THERE IS NO OTHER”, besides ME there is no GOD; I equip you, though you do not know ME, 

6 that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides ME; I am the LORD, and there is no other.”

Many people believe in a god, but it isn’t YHWH.  A lot of people elevate other humans to god-like status, altering their lifestyles to reflect the acts of others with no apparent recognition that they are just as flawed as others.  There has only been ONE MAN WHO has been sinless, and HE was sacrificed for my sins!  

A lot of us allow ourselves to so busy that we think we do not have time to WAIT ON GOD to give us direction.  GOD is wanting us to slow our lives down and submit to HIM, but we are so caught up in “the rat-race” that we do not listen for OUR CREATOR to speak to us.  

“I am the LORD, and “THERE IS NO OTHER”, besides ME there is no GOD” says Scripture.  Our jobs, our doctors, our President, our pastors, NO ONE is supposed to be placed above our LORD!  Yet we allow our busy schedules to limit the time we spend with our GOD?  What are we thinking when we allow worldly things to interrupt our time with OUR CREATOR?  

The Scriptures above indicate that WE DO NOT KNOW HIM!  The more that I DO KNOW HIM, I am convinced that I DID NOT KNOW HIM adequately.  HE IS GOD, and “THERE IS NO OTHER”!!!  Maybe I can reflect that more in my life???
