WHO DID ALL THIS?

 

Colossians 1:16

 

"For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through him and for him." ESV 

 

Jesus Christ is the creator of all things. He created all by Himself and because of Himself. There was no other force to encourage or motivate Him. The universe and all things known and unknown were made by the eternal, unlimited, uncreated God, Jesus Christ. He is the One who set aside His place as God, humbled Himself, and became a living human being. He did this in order to be the sinless sacrifice for our sins.

 

Lord, we are incapable of fully knowing the greatness of Your power and majesty. Neither can we realize the tremendous sacrifice You made for us at the cross. We humbly pray to walk pleasing in Your site. In Your magnificent name we pray, Amen.

CREATOR, DESIGNER, SUSTAINER

 

Colossians 1:17

 

"And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together." ESV 

 

The Son exists in eternity. He existed before any thing that was created existed. Even the angels were created. He, Himself is the Creator, who made all things for His own pleasure. He designed it all and holds it together by His imprint of love and sacrifice.

 

Lord, we praise You for Your magnificent creation. More so, we acknowledge that You supersede all things, and having made all things, hold it all in place. Help us to live worthy of Your great love. In Your name we pray, Amen.

SUPREME GLUE

  

Colossians 1:17

 

 "And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together." ESV

Do we really grasp the awesome nature of our Lord Jesus Christ? He is eternal, existing from eternity to eternity, no beginning and no end. Do we really understand that Christ is the One who causes all things created to hold together, have shape and form, and have organization? That includes all things in the universe and all things in the spiritual world. That is why every knee will bow at this coming!

Heavenly Father, the greatness of Your Son, Jesus Christ is so vast it is impossible for our minds to comprehend it. Help us to show Him the reverence and obedience that belongs to Him. We thank You for sending Him to save us and the eternal life You have prepared for us. In Jesus' holy name we pray, Amen.

ETERNAL WORD ETERNAL CREATOR

 

 

John 1:1

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." ESV

In the beginning of time, Christ already was. He was with eternal God. In fact, He is God. God has created everything that has ever existed or ever will exist. No one can create but God. Man can only use whatever already exists to put together something in a combination that has never before existed in that combination. Rich food for thought.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word, and for being the eternal Creator of all things. Help us to see the world through humble eyes and hearts as we experience Your awesome creation. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

IN THE BEGINNING

 

 

Genesis 1:1

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." ESV

What is the beginning spoken of here? God has no beginning nor an end; He is eternal. The beginning is when God started what we know as time.

Heavenly Father, our human minds cannot fathom eternity. Help us to stay aware and use wisely the time You set in motion for us in the beginning. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

HIS WAY IS THE HIGHWAY

 

Isaiah 55:9

"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."NIV

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."KJV

It is human nature for us to play out in our minds how the Lord is going to work in our situations. And then we are surprised at how He does it, a way we would never have thought. It shows us that God's ways are much different than ours. How different? His ways are a greater distance than the heavens are from the earth, which by the way, scientist have not been able to measure. When we ask God why, or wonder what He is doing, we can let our faith kick in full and just trust Him. He is in control.

Heavenly Father, forgive us for questioning what You are doing or not doing. Help us to strengthen our faith so that in any situation, although we may not understand, we will know that You are working in Your way, not ours. In Jesus' name, Amen.

WHAT GOD RESPECTS

The most elaborate and ornate churches, temples, and shrines are only
impressive to the human senses. God is not impressed with them at all.
After all, He made the awesome universe. What gets God's attention as
the most beautiful temple is the individual that is humble in spirit. One
who grieves the sin in this world and gives total respect to the things of
God.

Read Isaiah 66:2

"'Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?'
declares the Lord. 'This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and
contrite in spirit, and trembles at My word.'" (NIV)

"For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have
been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is
poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word." (KJV)

GIVING ALL

It is such an amazing thing when we get hold of the fact that
the Son of God actually left His throne in Heaven and became a
human being. Even more amazing, He gave all He had, Himself,
because of His love, mercy, and grace that would show us the
Way to the One true God. When we take time to dwell on that, it
seems like such a small thing that we would turn our total selves
over to Him. But, that is all we have to give Him.

Read John 1:14

"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have
seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the
Father, full of grace and truth." (NIV)

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father)
full of grace and truth." (KJV)

WHO IS IN CONTROL?

All things belong to the Lord. Those who remember this will remain
humble at all times. It is not by our own minds or hands that we have
accumulated our possessions and achievements. It is only by the
grace of God. He will lift us up if we are actively aware of Who is in
control.

Read Isaiah 66:2

"'Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?'
declares the Lord. 'This is the one I esteem; he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.'" (NIV)

"'For all those things hath mine hand made and all those things have been,' saith the LORD: 'but to this man will I look even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit and trembleth at my word.'" (KJV)

HE IS OUR KEEPER

What a comfort to remember that we are God's people. He created
us and He watches over us with loving kindness and mercy. How
blessed we are!!

"Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his,
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture." (NIV)

"Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not
we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture." (KJV)
