Opening Verse
“I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.”
Isaiah 43:11 (KJV)
Introduction
God alone is our Savior. Throughout Scripture, He repeatedly declares His power to save, reminding us that no other being or force can offer the redemption that He provides. This verse from Isaiah underscores that essential truth: there is no other Savior but the Lord.
Devotional Story
A woman found herself lost in a maze of difficulties. She tried everything: friends, advice columns, and even self-help programs, but nothing could lift the weight she felt in her heart. One night, while sitting quietly, overwhelmed by her struggles, she opened her Bible. It fell to Isaiah 43:11:
“I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.”
In that moment, she realized she had been looking everywhere but to God for rescue. She knelt down and prayed, giving all her burdens to the One who had the power to save her. From that moment forward, she knew no earthly source could provide the salvation she needed. Only God could—and He did.
What This Means
This verse is a reminder that no human being, no system, and no possession can save us. Only God, in His infinite power and mercy, can bring true salvation. Whether we are facing spiritual, emotional, or physical struggles, turning to the Lord as our Savior is the answer. We must remember that He alone has the power to save, heal, and deliver.
Think About This
Are there areas in your life where you’ve been looking for solutions in places other than God? Have you been trusting in things that cannot truly save? Today, remember Isaiah 43:11: God is the only Savior.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we acknowledge that You alone are our Savior. Forgive us for the times when we’ve looked elsewhere for help. We turn to You now, trusting in Your power to save us from all our troubles. Help us to always seek You first, knowing that You are the only one who can truly deliver us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Closing Verse
“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Luke 19:10 (KJV)
