I am Second: Day One: Creation

No Other

I am the Lord,
and there is no other. . . .
I, the Lord, speak the truth;
I declare what is right. . . .
Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood,
who pray to gods that cannot save. . . .
Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other. . . .
Before me every knee will bow;
by me every tongue will swear.
They will say of me, “In the Lord alone
are deliverance and strength.”
All who have raged against him
will come to him and be put to shame.
—Isaiah 45:18b, 19b, 20b, 22, 23b–24
