The First and Last

There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves searching for something or someone to hold onto, especially in times of uncertainty and confusion.

In Isaiah 44:6, we encounter a powerful declaration from the Lord Himself:

“This is what the Lord says— Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.”

These words remind us of God’s absolute sovereignty and His unique position as the one true God.

In a world where we are constantly bombarded with competing ideologies and countless options for worship, it is comforting to know that there is only one God who stands above all.

The Lord proclaims Himself as the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He is the eternal and unchanging source of all existence, and there is no one and nothing that can compare to Him.

This verse invites us to reflect on our own lives and consider what or who we have placed at the center.

Are we seeking fulfillment and meaning in worldly pursuits or false idols, or are we recognizing God as the ultimate source of our identity and purpose?

As you embrace the truth of Isaiah 44:6, turn your heart and mind towards the one true God, acknowledging His unmatched power, wisdom, and love. He alone deserves your devotion and worship.
