Reading
SAA Notes
Paul uses verse 9 in his reasoning in Romans 9:19-21.Verse 22 is remarkable when you realise that this is talking of a day when Israel had been destroyed as a nation. The Church’s destruction or failure is no proof of atheism or an uncaring God. God calls us to faith and repentance in good days and evil.
SJA Notes
* Father God, please teach us today from Your word, sufficient for our growth according to Your will.
“… And there is no other god besides me, a righteous God and a Saviour; there is none besides me.”
Wisdom cries out, God’s word is clear – There is no other but Him!
Why then do we sometimes bend our ear to the world’s whispers, turn our eye toward the glitter of the broad road?
Let Isaiah’s repeated focus seep deep down, impacting us, that we would hearken.
There is no other god but our God!
“Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth!”
What other message is there but this?
Layered over and over, we have God calling us His people, through all the ages, to this truth – That He is the only Saviour, there is no other God. Believe in nobody else, in nothing else, no thought or word or deed. Only He satisfies us. Only He rescues us.
“Only in the LORD, it shall be said of me, are righteousness and strength;”
This is it. If we turn from this then we are the one who looks in a mirror and then away and immediately forgets the truth.
ONLY IN THE LORD.
* Father God,
Thank You that Your word is the only mirror that always tells us the truth.
Thank You that Your Spirit is at work in us, Your people.
Please save our loved ones Lord God. Please call them, and may they answer – May they turn to You and be saved!
There is no other god besides You, our Rock and our Redeemer, our Saviour and our Friend!
Amen.
