There is no Other

Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none. I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me.


I am the LORD, and there is no other;
Besides Me there is no God

I am the LORD, and there is no other

I am the LORD, and there is none else.

And there is no other God besides Me,
A righteous God and a Savior;
There is none except Me.

For I am God, and there is no other.



For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me.

Got it?

Why would God say that so many times in 3 consecutive chapters? Obviously, it needs to be pounded in. He is God and there is no other.

It wouldn't have stood out so plainly were it not for the repetition. It makes me wonder what my gods are. There should be nothing else that stands at any moment before God. This is not to mean that every moment of my life should be devoted to prayer or reading my Bible. But do I ever hold to something that I should give up for something He has called me to do?

Where is my focus?

It's like he's sayin', "C'mon guys, forget these other things, they can't save you, only I can, trust in Me, follow Me."

It's so easy to get caught up in various things. This is a busy society.
Sometimes, we forget to put God at the head of our plans. We follow a schedule, not the Spirit's direction. We hold so strongly to certain commitments, but forget to set aside time for the One who holds it in His hands

He is God, and there is no other. Every last resource should be invested for His purpose. He should get the beginning of our day, the first of our wages, He should be our first love.

There is no other name by which we are saved!
"To be quickly forgotten's my aim,
one nameless servant to that unforgettable Name,
Jesus who came."
