None Else

“For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He made it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none else.” (Isaiah 45:18)

The Lord; He is God, none else. He created the heavens from nothing—the sky for stars, sun, moon, and space for planets to hang, and His heavenly domain. He formed the dirtball we call Earth and divided it for habitation by humanity, animals, and other creatures of His handiwork, ready for productivity. The prophet writes that God created all; He alone was and is Almighty and worthy of trust. But sin entered and disrupted God’s perfect creation.

Be attentive to distractions that creep into your life, causing you to lose focus of your Savior inadvertently. Decide that this holiday season will be different. We should never lose sight of the awe and wonder that God loves us so much that He came to earth wrapped in human flesh—the Christ-child born to die for sinful people. As we celebrate Jesus’ birth, the true meaning of Christmas, what will you give Him this year? None else is more worthy of your best.
