No Other God

469 - Today's Prime Time Devo comes from: 2Sa 7:22, "Therefore You are great, O LORD GOD. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears. (2 Sam 7:22) David expresses a sentiment that is oft repeated in Scripture and we would do well to keep it in mind. There are many gods that have, and always will, vie for our attention. It's not by accident that God's first commandment given to His people is "You shall have no other gods before Me.” )Ex 20:3) Moses sang about it in Ex 15:11 "Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? Hannah prayed it after the birth of Samuel, "No one is holy like the LORD, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.” 1Sa 2:2 The prophet Jeremiah proclaimed it in Jer 10:6 Inasmuch as there is none like You, O LORD (You are great, and Your name is great in might) Still another prophet (Micah) put it this way: Mic 7:18 Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy. Yes, we need to be reminded of this fact often, lest we become complacent in our relationship with the Lord. What other god is willing to forgive your sins completely? What other god is willing to “pass over” your sins. What other god loved the world so much that HE gave His only begotten Son to die on the cross, and then promised that whosoever believed in His Son would have eternal life? There is no other god, who has done that! Therefore, let us bow down and worship Him and Him alone!. Father, thank You for being the only God. Let us ever acknowledge that fact in our day to day living, In Jesus Name, Amen.
