Scripture lesson: Isaiah 44:6-8 There are no other Gods
Time to reflect: A monotheistic religion is unusual, but especially in the era of Isaiah and friends, but here it is spelled out in no uncertain terms. There is ONLY one God.
Moving through the day: Do you ever let other “gods” slip into your thinking (most superstitions assume other gods). Are you able to hold onto the idea of one, single God without succumbing to relativism or being judgmental of other religions? Think about this for awhile then re-read the passage.
Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel
and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:
"I am the first and I am the last;
besides me there is no god.
Who is like me? Let him proclaim it.
Let him declare and set it before me,
since I appointed an ancient people.
Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen.
Fear not, nor be afraid;
have I not told you from of old and declared it?
And you are my witnesses!
Is there a God besides me?
There is no Rock; I know not any."
