The Only God

Know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other. Deuteronomy 4:39

It does our spirit good to meditate on this truth, and honestly, I could simply leave you with this verse today, but that would be a really short devotion, so here are just a few thoughts. The One we serve is the one true God. No matter what Roman or Greek or any other mythology say, there are no other gods of heaven or gods of earth, there is only Yahweh, our God, Jehovah. It is He alone that deserves the allegiance of all people, for it is He alone that is the source of all life.

Knowing who it is we serve and why we serve Him is fundamental to our faith. We need to know and understand why we follow His commands and why we live our lives according to His teaching. Our obedience to God, our faith in Jesus and our dependence on the Holy Spirit is grounded in the truth and knowledge of who they are, and what they have done in us, through us and for us.

Think today of who the God of all creation is to you personally. Think about what He sacrificed for you and all the provision He has made for you. Consider His faithfulness, His goodness and His love. Consider what your life would be like without Him.

Dedicate this day to acknowledge the sovereignty of Almighty God and lay it to your heart that the God of heaven above and all the earth beneath, is also the God of you.
