Morning Devotion: Read Isaiah

Isaiah 45:22  Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23  I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

The Lord God tells us that He is the only one to look toward for salvation and that every knee will bow to Him  and every tongue will swear that He is God.

We find the same thing in the New Testament as well.

Romans 14:11  For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

Philippians 2:5  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

There you have it, no contradiction in the bible; Jesus is God and every knee will bow and confess it to be so.

All through chapters 44 one 45 we see people bowing to idols made with hands and not trusting in the living God. Here God makes is very clear that everyone will bow to Him for He is life and light. He is the sustainer and the saviour of the world.

To what are you bowing? To what are you worshiping?

When going about your day, trust the Lord, let God be your sustainer and guide, let the Lord be the one to whom you worship.

The choice is still yours,
