ALL THINGS He created

"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power:

For Thou hast created all things and for Thy pleasure they are and were created."

Revelation 4:11, KJV

 

For Thy pleasure, the elders sang.  According the will, plan, purpose, desire, and design of God, everything that is now, ever has been, or forever shall be was created by Him, through Him, and for Him.  From nothing, God spoke everything into existence.  That spoken Word was Christ, who was from the beginning with God.  Who was from the beginning God.  And through Him everything was made.

 

In the beginning, there was God.  Father, Son and Holy Ghost.  It started with Him.  It started through Him.  It started by the power of His will.  He spoke and it all began.  He originated everything that is and set it all in place.  He knows every speck of the cosmos personally, because He made them.  He made the earth and all its fullness.  He made me, fearfully and wonderfully, in the womb of my mother.  Covered there in the hidden parts, God put me together.

 

And for His pleasure was I created.  To do His will.  To look like Him, to be like Him.  That is my purpose, to please the one who made me and fulfill His plan for my life.  How much easier things would be, how much simpler, if we all just realized we were made by God with that reason in mind. He made me, and He has given me an instruction manual to help me understand His will and my purpose.  He wants to and will and does communicate further instructions to me if I am listening.  He wants me to please Him, and He's not going to leave it up to my imagination to figure out how.  That is the lunacy of religion, trying to figure God out when He has already given us everything we need, right there in His Word.

 

This is not my world, not my body, not my possessions, not my life.  All that I am and ever hope to be, I owe totally and completely to God.  He is my Creator, and I will worship and serve Him all of my days.
