God
never had a beginning and will never have an ending. He is eternal in the
heavenlies; and He chose to share His glory with humanity (Psalm 90:2). The
only prerequisite is that we believe in Jesus whom He sent (John 3:16-18).
The
Lord reigns supreme and lights the earth with His lightning. The mountains will
melt like wax before Him, because He is Lord of the whole earth, exalted above
every other king, lord or god (Psalm 97:1-9).
His
people break forth in song at the mere mention of His name, the fullness of the
seas roar, the rivers and trees clap their hands while the hills blossom with
joy. He judges the world with righteousness (Psalm 98:4-9; Psalm 104).
God
is wise in heart, mighty in strength and no one who hardens their heart against
Him will prosper. He created the constellations and spread them across the sky.
His wonders are innumerable (Job 9:4-12).
Even
the beasts of the woods, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea and the
fullness of the earth testify of His hand in their creation. He gives breath to
every living being (Job 12:7-10).
God
hung the earth on its invisible axis and keeps us slanted at the exact tilt to
maintain life as we know it. He makes half of the earth day while the other
half is night. He troubles the sea and calms it at His will (Job 26:7-14).
All
His ways are goodness and we can trust in Him with confidence, because He is
faithful and cares for us. He works all things for the good of those who love
Him and who choose to enter the ranks of His called according to His purpose
(Romans 8:28; Ephesians 2:10).
Prayer:
Father
God, Your majesty is awesome and causes us to give You the honor due to Your
name. You do great things for us, which we cannot conceive with our finite,
human mind; and You reveal Yourself to us through nature and the testimony of
Your Saints (Job 37:2-22, and Chapters 38 & 39). You do not need us at all;
but You desire to fellowship with Your Saints.
You
do not dwell in the great concrete edifices that mankind builds for you; but
You dwell in us as we reside in Your fullness. Thank You that You predetermined
Your appointed times to carry out Your will for us in the hopes that we will
reach out and take a hold of Your goodness, and embrace You with our whole
heart, soul, mind and strength (Isaiah 45:5-6, 18-19, 21-23).
Thought
for the Day:
God
is not far from each one of us, and longs for our fellowship; wanting us to
live, move and have our being only in Him.
