The One True God

Be Still and Know That I Am God, “I am the one true God.”

This season of my life has been filled with questions and uncertainties in a lot of areas. The kind that lingers, and you cannot shake it out of your mind. The kind that makes you sit with God in silence because you do not even know what to say, and sometimes you do not want to say anything at all.

There are moments when I do not want to talk to Him. Moments when I feel frustrated, tired, and overwhelmed. But because He is all I have, I still find myself going to Him anyway. Sometimes with words, and sometimes just with tears. Sometimes I even tell Him that I am not talking to Him anymore, only to find myself talking to Him again just to let Him know that I am not talking to Him.

I have had so many questions. So many doubts. Yet in my devotion today, in the stillness, He reminded me that He is the one true God. Where my anger caused me to doubt Him, He revealed that there is no other god but Him. When my emotions tried to convince me otherwise, He remained the same. Unchanging. Faithful. Still God.

In the moments when I feel sad or angry and do not want to talk to Him, He showed me that it is okay to be honest with Him. He did not pull away when I struggled, and He does not pull away even as I continue to struggle. He did not stop loving me when I expressed my real feelings. Instead, He continues to embrace me right where I am. He remains faithful.

The word true carries so much meaning for me in this season. When I say He is the one true God, it reminds me that there is evidence of Him all around us. In creation. In life. And most importantly, in the way He continues to meet us even when we feel distant from Him or wander far. There truly is no other God but Him.

True also means that He cannot lie to us. He is not capable of that. He does not say things just to make us feel better in the moment like people sometimes do. He tells us the truth. Even when it is uncomfortable. Even when it stretches us. Even when we would rather not hear it.

I am grateful that in my moments of weakness — and yes, I feel very weak right now — the Holy Spirit still intercedes on my behalf. When my mind starts to speak things that are not true, the Lord can quiet my thoughts and remind me that He is God. When sadness tries to take over my mind, the Lord gently reminds me again that He is God. When my heart feels like it might sink under the weight of everything I am carrying, He steadies my heart and reminds me once more that He is God.

Even in my struggles. Even in the uncertainty of life. Even when it feels like my faith is being tested and I do not have everything together.

I will be still. And I will know that I serve the one true God.

This is not perfection. This is surrender.

And today, I am taking it day by day, that is enough.
