Campfire Reflections - Isaiah 45:5

Lane Street’s Campfire Reflection - Isaiah 45:5

I’ve spent enough nights sitting by a campfire to know this much—
when the flames die down and the noise fades out, the truth has a way of standing alone.

God doesn’t whisper in Isaiah 45:5.

He doesn’t hedge His words or soften the edges.

“I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from Me there is no God.”
That settles it.

Every generation tries to dress up the same old lie—
that we can shape God to fit our comfort, our preferences, or our plans.
That maybe there’s room for a little god of self, a little god of success, a little god of control.

But around a campfire, there’s no room for illusions.
There is one fire that gives light.
One flame that warms.
One God who stands alone—unchallenged, uncreated, unmatched.

When we try to carry other gods, we don’t end up stronger—
we end up divided, restless, and worn thin.

Because nothing false can bear the weight we place on it.

Lane learned this the hard way:
Peace doesn’t come from balancing gods.
Freedom doesn’t come from options.

Strength comes from surrendering to the One who already reigns.
One God.
One voice.

One truth steady enough to trust when the fire burns low and the night gets long.
