A REALLY BIG GOD, VERY INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE

 
Revelation 1:8
 
"'I am the Alpha and the Omega', says the Lord God. 'Who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.'" ESV 
 
Just stop for a moment and think about how awesome and majestic our God is. We cannot help but be amazed that He cares for us as if we were each the only one on earth. God is eternal, from eternity to eternity. He created all things and holds the universe in His hands. Yet, when we come to Him with our tiny offerings of praise, He delights in us just like a mother reaching out for the dandelion her child brought just for her. How awesome our God is!
 
Jesus, there is no way our human minds can grasp what a great and mighty God You are. But by Your love, You let us know how much You care for us and accept our offering of praise and worship with delight. Oh, how we thank You and praise You for Your unending love for us. In Your name we pray, Amen.

TO BEGIN WITH

 
 
John 1:1
 
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." ESV
 
Beginnings are always an opportunity to make changes and set goals to improve our lives. In the beginning of time, God was. If we want to have a better year, is it not evident that we choose to have God be in the driver seat, and to be number one in our lives?
 
Heavenly Father, we acknowledge that You are One True God, and You were there in the beginning of time. Give us hearts that desire to keep You first in our lives and allow You to have Your way in our lives. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

TIME IS CHRIST FILLED

 
 
Colossians 1:18


"And he is the head of the body, the church, He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent." ESV


Christ was born into time, although he existed in eternity. He went before us through death and resurrection so that He would be the first to be resurrected to eternal life. Christ is the first, above all, surpassing all, and superior to all.


Heavenly Father, we stand in need of the Holy Spirit to help us even begin to understand just how majestic and all encompassing our God is. Help us to take time to be still in Your presence that we might know more of Your most awesome nature. We pray in Your Son's name, 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.
