“Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god... Fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? And you are my witnesses! Is there a God besides me? There is no Rock; I know not any.”” – Isaiah 44:6,8

In a day of medical specialists one tends to forget the old days of the General Practitioner that was fully equipped for every need. There was always something comforting in the fact that your family Doctor knew you well and had the necessary skills to fix whatever ailed you. Oh, for the day when you would go to one physician for every condition.

In Isaiah's day and ours as well, there is only one true God and he is sufficient for every need that we could ever have. Think of the two verses mentioned... they speak of our LORD, King, Redeemer, LORD of Hosts, "first and last", God and Rock. He is our God and he alone is the eternal General Practitioner. There is no other specialist, for the LORD is our one physician for every condition.

With the LORD life can be quite easy and most comforting my friend! You have a God who is all that you need and more. He knows you better than anyone and is more than sufficient for your personal condition. There is no need to ever be afraid, because "from of old", He is "the same yesterday, today and forever". (Hebrews 13:8) Turn to him and be saved! (Isaiah 45:22)
