Today's encouragement comes from Isaiah 43:10b, where we read these words:
"Before Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me."Sometimes children ask, "Who made God?" No one made God, because God is in a unique category of existence—"necessary” existence—that no other reality shares with Him. But the germane point of the Scripture's teaching about God's Self-existence and eternality is not just to have interesting philo-sophical knowledge—instead, it is a spur for us to trust Him.
Let us humbly accept the obvious fact that a God exists; and then let us go much further, and believe His gospel of grace in our blessed Lord Jesus Christ.
