In what ways can we affirm the uniqueness of God in our daily lives? Opening Scripture "Even if there are so-called gods..." —1 Corinthians 8:5 The Only God There Is "The LORD our God, the LORD is one!" —Deuteronomy 6:4 • One and only Creator who spoke the universe into being (Genesis 1) • Eternal, self-existent, sustaining all things (Colossians 1:17) • Holy and righteous, untainted by sin (Isaiah 6:3) • Gracious Redeemer revealed in Jesus Christ (John 1:18; Hebrews 1:1-3) Daily Ways to Affirm His Uniqueness • Worship Him exclusively – Begin and end each day with praise directed to Him alone – Refuse to blend biblical worship with cultural idols (Matthew 4:10) – Gather with fellow believers; corporate praise magnifies His worth (Psalm 95) • Honor Him with your words – Speak His name with reverence, never casually or profanely (Exodus 20:7) – Share the gospel; telling others who He is distinguishes Him from “so-called” gods (Acts 17) • Let Him guide every decision – Consult Scripture first (Psalm 119:105) – Pray before choices, relying on His wisdom (Proverbs 3:5-6) – Order time, money, and energy around His kingdom priorities • Reflect His character in relationships – Pursue holiness and love (1 Peter 1:15-16) – Forgive as He forgave you (Ephesians 4:32) – Treat every person with dignity as an image-bearer (Genesis 1:27) • Cultivate awe and gratitude – Notice His fingerprints in creation (Psalm 19:1) – Keep a gratitude journal to record daily mercies (James 1:17) Living Monday through Sunday When worship, speech, decisions, relationships, and gratitude all revolve around the one true Lord, our ordinary routines become living testimonies that there is no one like our God. |
