I am the Lord , and there is no other; apart from me there is no God...
Isaiah 45:5 NIV
Through this chapter God gives his credentials...and these words are repeated several times...
I am the Lord
There is no other
Apart from me there is no God
This is something the people needed to keep hearing...and so do we...
We forget
We try to reason Him away
We try to replace Him with god's of our own making...
Sometimes we might wonder what He's up to, or why He doesn't fix something we want fixed...
If this is true - do I completely trust Him then?
No matter what my circumstances.
No matter what's going on in the world...do I still choose to say:
You are the Lord
There is no other

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
