This passage of Scripture has been used as a proof-text for the
Trinity, and rightly so, because it teaches that there is only one Lord
God. But just as importantly, this declaration is a statement of
exclusivity — the God of the Bible is the one and only sovereign Lord
over heaven and earth.
It is for this reason, as God Himself points out in the ensuing
command, that we owe this one true God our undivided affection, worship,
and service. Serving any other god—including our own schemes,
aspirations, or lusts—is an act of colossal rebellion against the
loving, holy, and good Lord of creation; any such insurrection is doomed
to failure.
Do you recognize the God of the Bible as the one Lord of your life? Is
your heart united to fear His name? Does your soul revel in the
brilliance of His majesty? Are your energies spent solely for His glory?
He is the Lord of the universe, and He deserves our all of everything.
