Only One

READ Deuteronomy 6

There are Bible verses and musical lyrics that attribute the following truth to God – there’s no one like our God, no one at all. He’s the Only One. Glance through any part of scripture and I dare to say this truth is evident throughout all of God’s inspired word.
Read Deuteronomy 6 and you’ll see that Moses wrote about the Lord our God being the one. He writes that our God is a jealous God and that there’s a choice every one of us has when it comes to understanding who God is and what He wants from us. No where does the Bible tell us that anyone even comes close to comparing to His immeasurable and unconditional love for His children. He’s driven to do whatever it takes to make Himself known as the one and only God.
Yet for many reasons, people still decide to go against wisdom and decide they know better than God. They decide their ways are higher than His ways, so they choose to follow their own path instead of God’s.

As God’s children what are we to do when we see our friends and family making these choices that come with devastating consequences? We’re to love them; love them by praying for them. Take our concerns before the throne of God, to our King of Kings and let Him hear our requests on behalf of our loved ones. We’re to let God know that we want to be used by Him to make a difference in the eternities of those we know and love. And we’re to trust that God will work through us to give everyone we care about an opportunity to come to know this great God of ours.

And in the meantime, may all of us represent the Only One who can save us so that we may spend our eternity with Him in the heavenly realm. May the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart be pleasing in His sight always!
