The “Why”....

As I read through Isaiah chapter 43 I cannot help but to think about the “why?” of our creation, the purpose in pursuing God, and the difference between our God and all the false ones being worshipped in the world today.

7 Bring all who claim Me as their God,for I have made them for My glory.It was I who created them.’ ” 8 Bring out the people who have eyes but are blind,who have ears but are deaf.9 Gather the nations together!Assemble the peoples of the world!Which of their idols has ever foretold such things?Which can predict what will happen tomorrow?Where are the witnesses of such predictions?Who can verify that they spoke the truth? 10 “But you are My witnesses, O Israel!” says the Lord.“You are My servant.You have been chosen to know Me, believe in Me,and understand that I alone am God.There is no other God–there never has been, and there never will be.11 I, yes I, am the Lord,and there is no other Savior.12 First I predicted your rescue,then I saved you and proclaimed it to the world. No foreign god has ever done this.You are witnesses that I am the only God,”says the Lord.13 “From eternity to eternity I am God.No one can snatch anyone out of My hand.No one can undo what I have done.” Isaiah 43:7-13
