Psalm 89:5-11 says, "All heaven will praise your great wonders, LORD; myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness. For who in all of heaven can compare with the LORD? What mightiest angel is anything like the LORD? The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God. He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne. O LORD God of Heaven's Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O LORD? You are entirely faithful. You rule the oceans. You subdue their storm-tossed waves. You crushed the great sea monster. You scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. The heavens are yours, and the earth is yours; everything in the world is yours—you created it all." There is only one God in all the universe, for there is only one God who created it all. The Hindu religion teaches that there are millions of gods. Other religions believe that human beings can become gods, whether in this life or after. However, the Bible only teaches that there is only one God, and there are no gods beside Him. As a result, there is only one way to Him, and that is through faith in our Lord Jesus (John 14:6).
The reason the religious leaders killed Jesus on the cross was because they didn't believe that He was God, and it was only through faith in Him that they would be forgiven of their sins. Every time Jesus performed miracles, He proved to the people that He was God and that He was the way to salvation. Our God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit are one God, but they are three persons of one God. People have to believe in Jesus in order for them to have a relationship with our God the Father and receive God the Holy Spirit to live in them to help them grow in their spiritual maturity. Deuteronomy 6:4 says, "Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is one." The God that we worship is the God who created the whole universe, and He is faithful to us to fulfill all His promises.
Let us be confident today that the God we believe in created the whole universe and everything in it, and He is faithful to us. If God is for us, there is nothing to fear, for He is faithful to help us and carry us through whatever problems we are facing today. Let us look up to our God and trust Him.
Questions for application: (Think through these questions carefully, meditate on them while answering them, and let the Spirit of God speak to you.) Do I believe in the teaching of the Bible that there is only one true God? If I believe that there is only one true God, do I believe that there is only one way to Him, and that is through faith in the Lord Jesus? What should be my reaction to my big problems knowing that I have a relationship with God, who is faithful to carry me through them?
Take a moment to write down all your worries today. Then, lift them up to God in prayer, surrendering them to His will and trusting in His guidance.
Prayer:
Dear Father in Heaven, thank you for opening my eyes to the fact that you are the only true God and that there are no other gods. There is only one way to you, and that is through faith in my Lord Jesus. Thank you for your faithfulness. Please help me not to worry or be anxious about my problems because you are faithful to carry me through them. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
