As the writer ascribed, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. This statement lets us know that there is a Being far greater, far wiser, far loftier, all powerful, all-encompassing, all knowing and eternally pure… whom I refer to as God. These descriptive words are meant to change the way you think about yourself, life, God and everything that exist for His glory. He is the creator of all things and holds everything in place by His will.
Just look around you and realize that everything was created by Him and for Him. God created you and me which ultimately means that we belong to Him and are held accountable to Him. We must acknowledge that we were beautifully created by divine intention to reflect our creator. We can never declare that we were self-made…. for we are the direct product of God’s creative power, will and love. Who would create someone in their own image and likeness if it wasn’t born out of love?
If you personally made something with your own hands and resources, you have the right to have ownership over, it because you were its creator. There is never a point where the created have a dismissive attitude toward their Creator. The Scribe of the Bible states, “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and all those that dwell therein.” {Palms 24:1}. To be truthful, there is no human being that has total autonomy… no matter how we want to flex our weight and authority toward others. If we deny this, what are we saying to our Creator… that we are the center of our lives and life is all about our happiness?
We were all created for God to be the center of our lives and to have a consciousness of God’s existence and authority. Since we have free-will, some may try to deny the evidence that God is all around us. We only deceive ourselves thinking that we are the masters of our fate. We tell ourselves that we know what is best. We forget that we were born under God’s authority with our days numbered and we will give an account for our actions.
In all our willfulness, God never stops loving and extending us mercy with opportunities to have a relationship with Him. “Look! I have been standing at the door, and I am constantly knocking. If anyone hears me calling him and opens the door, I will come in and fellowship with him and he with me.” {Rev. 3:20 TLB}.
