the breath of his mouth." Here we are assured that God the Father alone created all creation with the words of His ownxommand, and that He made all living creatures by the breath of His mouth.
God is not limited to any location. He fills every part of the universe. Heaven and earth cannot hold Him, and there is no one comparable to Him. David wrote of the extent of His omnipresence,
"Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there; if Itake the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me" (Psalm 139:7-10).
By instructing us to pray, "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done" (Matthew 6:9-10), the Lord assured us that there is only one everlasting Father,
that He has only one kingdom, one will, and one holy name. The Bible clearly states that there are many gods in the world, but we acknowledge only one God
and Father who alone is from eternity and lives for ever (Isaiah 44:8, 24; 46:8-10; 1Corinthians 8:4-6; ITimothy 1:17). He created everything alone, and
there is no other comparable unto him. (See Deuter onomy 32:39; Isaiah 43:3, 10-13; 44:6-8, 24). Just as Moses testified that there is no other God like
Jehovah, we too must declare, "There is no other God like You." (See Exodus 8:10; 15:11; Deut. 33:26.)
