I Am the Lord and There Is No Other - Isaiah 45: 18

God has revealed Himself to be the Lord of glory, gracious and great for He created His very heavens where all His own will come for their date A date chosen before eternity when His faithful ones He will draw the earth God has formed from not establishing it makes one stand in awe God's purpose for this earth He made was not to leave it full of nothing this is God who reigns from all eternity for the Lord's plans always has meaning His plans and purposes are without error for in it's formation He left man a space all along God's design included humanity knew they would need a touch by grace I am the Lord and there is no other standing high above all His creation sovereign in control never to fall one day will make up His own nation ('For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited!): “I am the Lord, and there is no other.') Isaiah 45: 18 (ESV)

And the mysteries of his great plan will one day be revealed to his faithful followers. Well written Gordon, hope alls well with you. Seems more restrictions are on the way, something needs to be done though as its spiralling out of control. Shame they dont look back in history, but back then people came first not the economy. Stay safe Tom
