My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Marvin Williams - AT THIS LINK - tells of Astrophysicist Erik Zackrisson, in Discover Magazine, writing that, of all the 700 quintillion planets in the universe, Earth is unique in having all the forces and qualities necessary to sustain life. Earth was no accident!! And according to God’s word (see Scriptures above), He, … our Lord, Jesus, … was the Creator of all we see; and we should humbly and thankfully worship and praise our God for what He has created for our good and His glory.
Join me and look around, my fellow Christian, and let us be reminded, by all we see, that our God created all of it FOR US and FOR HIS GLORY. Personally, I’m overwhelmed by the reality of creation being fashioned by Jesus … FOR ME and YOU … for us to see His glory and glory in all that He created. Yes, my friend, … all that we see, our Lord created for us to see and glory in our Creator… and His creation.
So, taking in all that we see around us, will you join me with a resounding and thankful Hallelujah!
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for all You have created for my good and for Your glory.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to share what You have created for us to see You, Lord, and follow You to Your glory. Amen
