There is no other god besides me,
a righteous God and a Savior;
there is none besides me.
“Turn to me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn;
from my mouth has gone out in righteousness
a word that shall not return:
‘To me every knee shall bow,
every tongue shall swear allegiance.’
“Only in the Lord, it shall be said of me,
are righteousness and strength;
to him shall come and be ashamed
all who were incensed against him.
In the Lord all the offspring of Israel
shall be justified and shall glory.”
This is the designated passage for this morning's communion service. I find the description of our God thrilling. He is righteous and a Savior. The value of the recipient of the salvation is in their relationship (the offspring of Israel). I am confident that I fit in that family so I am blessed to be included. I shall be justified and glory. In Him are righteousness and strength. What a terrific set of rewards.
