God’s Name: The Only God
By Gaylyn WilliamsWith 0 commentsGod’s Name: The Only God
Do you know who the only God is?
monos Theos (Greek)
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible,
the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Timothy 1:17
Steps on Your Journey to Know God More Intimately:
- Monos means only or alone. Theos means God, deity or supreme divinity.
- Our God is the Only True God. People may worship other things and people as gods, but they are not the true God. Most of us don’t have physical idols we worship, but many people treat money, power, status, people, etc. as more important than God. They make those things their gods.
- When I grew up in a little village in Guatemala, the Mayans worshipped many gods. When Catholicism came in, they converted, but still continued to worship their own gods, right in the Catholic church. How often do we do that? We say we are following the Only God, yet we continue to worship money, power or other things.
- Is there anything you worship (or make more important) in place of the Only God? If so, tell God you’re sorry and choose to change your ways.
- Take some time to worship the Only God.
A Prayer For You:
Lord, I honor You and worship You as the Only God. Nothing else in the whole world (or universe) begins to compare with You. Teach me more of what it means that You are the Only God. You deserve all praise, honor, glory and worship.

You might also be interested in the guided journal that goes along with this devotional, The Surprising Joy Journal. It has the same 365 names of God. You can get a sample of either by going to the links above.
Dick Eastman, International President of Every Home for Christ, said about The Surprising Joy of Discovering How God Sees You
I truly believe in the utmost importance of spending daily time with the Lord in prayer and in His Word. The Surprising Joy of Discovering How God Sees You is an incredible resource for seeking and connecting with the heart of God during those daily times. Filled with Scripture, insightful thoughts, and probing questions, this book will deepen your understanding and awareness of God’s love for you, help you discover who you are in Him, and guide you in “walking out” that identity from day to day. Every page of Gaylyn’s work is, as always, marked with her wisdom, encouraging spirit, and genuine love for the reader. This is a book I will be coming back to for years to come.
