How awesome is God? Look outside at the beauty of the ice and snowflakes glistening on the branches of the trees. Or see the glow of the sun reflected off the snow as it circles around the earth. Or look up at the sky at night and see the galaxy spread out before you. All of this is just what God has created. If he could create that, how much more glorious is He? Our very existence screams out that there is a creator, and that we should worship Him.
Romans 1:20 (WEB) “For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.”
We move from general revelation (that God is revealed in creation), to special revelation (that God reveals Himself through His Word). God’s Word restores our souls. It makes us wise. It is right, true, and pure. It provides enlightenment. We should desire it more than anything else! It shows us how to live and warns us what to stay away from. Once we know what to stay away from, we should plead with God to help us to stay on the right path and to do and say only right things. Then we will truly exhibit the fear of the Lord, and we will be blessed!
Thought for the day: And God also reveals Himself though His Son!
Hebrews 1:1-4 (WEB) “God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.”
Amen!
