Monday's Living Water

Scripture

"Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:
'I am the first and I am the last,
And there is no God besides Me.
'Who is like Me? Let him proclaim and declare it;
Yes, let him recount it to Me in order,
From the time that I established the ancient nation.
And let them declare to them the things that are coming
And the events that are going to take place.
'Do not tremble and do not be afraid;
Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it?
And you are My witnesses
Is there any God besides Me,
Or is there any other Rock?
I know of none.'"
Isaiah 44: 6-8



Así dice el SEÑOR, el Rey de Israel,
y su Redentor, el SEÑOR de los ejércitos:
"Yo soy el primero y yo soy el último,
y fuera de mí no hay Dios.
"¿Y quién como yo? Que lo proclame y lo declare.
Sí, que en orden lo relate ante mí,
desde que establecí la antigua nación.
Que les anuncien las cosas venideras
y lo que va a acontecer.
"No tembléis ni temáis;
¿no os lo he hecho oír y lo he anunciado desde hace tiempo?
Vosotros sois mis testigos.
¿Hay otro dios fuera de mí,
o hay otra Roca?
No conozco ninguna."
Isaias 44: 6-8
