Psalm 111:2–4: The works of the Lord are great, studied by all who have pleasure in them. His work is honorable and glorious, and His righteousness endures forever. He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; The Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
The idea today of attributing the origin of this universe to natural causes takes away the glory from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. It is robbing Him of His glory. It is as bad as denying the Lord’s redemption or denying Him as Savior. If you accept Him as Savior, you also accept Him as Creator. 1
Living the Transformed Life
But as for me, I would seek God, And to God I would commit my cause— Who does great things, and unsearchable, Marvelous things without number. Job 5:8–9
- When I am awakened by the early morning sunrise…I call out to the One who created this beauty, and ask for His abundant mercies before the day begins.
- When I see the rain falling and the corn growing…I call out to the One who provides all we need, and I thank Him for being my daily Bread of Life.
- When I see a dramatic and colorful sunset…I call out to the One who left heaven to save sinners on earth so we can share the glories of heaven with Him.
The One who created it all is the One who provides salvation to all who call upon Him.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for having an eternal plan before creation ever began. Dear Jesus, teach me to testify to others, declaring You as Creator and Savior.
