Besides Me There Is No God

Is.44 :6-8 Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:
"I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god. Who is like me? Let him proclaim it.
Let him declare and set it before me, since I appointed an ancient people.
Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen. Fear not, nor be afraid;
have I not told you from of old and declared it? And you are my witnesses!
Is there a God besides me? There is no Rock; I know not any."
Aren't the words of our Lord God awesome? They soothe my soul as well as challenge me to repentance of my sin. Thanks you Lord for the words that change people.
Is.44:24-28 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself, who frustrates the signs of liars and makes fools of diviners, who turns wise men back and makes their knowledge foolish, who confirms the word of his servant
and fulfills the counsel of his messengers, who says of Jerusalem, 'She shall be inhabited,'
and of the cities of Judah, 'They shall be built, and I will raise up their ruins'; who says to the deep, 'Be dry;
I will dry up your rivers'; who says of Cyrus, 'He is my shepherd, and he shall fulfill all my purpose'; and of the temple, 'Your foundation shall be laid.'"
Is.45:22-23 "Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return:
'To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance.'
