Filled by the God over All

Today’s reading is Isaiah 16-20.

Our Bible begins, “In the beginning God…” For us, it is old hat to speak of Jehovah as God over all, over every mountain, every valley, every rock, every tree, every creature, every person, every nation. But it took a long time for the nations to learn that the tribal God of Israel was really the only one true God over all, and some still haven’t learned. Molech didn’t get to judge Israel, Asthoreth didn’t get to judge Judah, but Jehovah did get to judge Moab, Damascus, Cush, Egypt, Assyria and Israel because He is God over all (Isaiah 16-20). He revealed Himself first to the Israelites, but He is the one God over all. That is why all the nations at that time needed to go to Israel to find God. Now, they need to come to Jesus, but the same point is true today. Jehovah is God over all whether all recognize it or not. Praise the Lord!

Tomorrow’s reading is Isaiah 21-25.
