Dear God…



Keep in mind that believing in God’s sovereignty does not mean you believe He causes everything in your life. Rather, it means that God either causes or allows everything in your life. And if He allows it, He can use it.
Trusting in His sovereignty means trusting that He can cause everything to work for your good—even the confusing and hurtful things—if you choose to love Him and respond to Him in the calling of your destiny.
You are not a mistake.
You were made on purpose for a purpose.
Embrace that truth and start living in light of it.
Tony Evans, Called for a Purpose
Think on this. If God is awesome, which He most certainly is, and He created you, as He did all humans in His very image (See Genesis), what creation, ID and potential do each of us have with this revealed truth?
Virtually Unlimited!
See Matthew 6:33
“Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.”
– Abraham Lincoln
I found this commentary to be most excellent
Holy, holy, holy—The “tris-hagion” of the Greek liturgies. In Isa 6:3, as here, it occurs; also Ps 99:3, 5, 9, where He is praised as “holy,” (1) on account of His majesty (Re 4:1) about to display itself; (2) His justice (Re 4:4) already displaying itself; (3) His mercy (Re 4:6-8) which displayed itself in times past. So here “Holy,” as He “who was”; “Holy,” as He “who is”: “Holy,” as He “who is to come.” He showed Himself an object of holy worship in the past creation of all things: more fully He shows Himself so in governing all things: He will, in the highest degree, show Himself so in the consummation of all things. “Of (from) Him, through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.” In Isa 6:3 there is added, “the whole EARTH is full of His glory.” But in Revelation this is deferred until the glory of THE Lord fills the earth, His enemies having been destroyed [Bengel].
Almighty—answering to “Lord of hosts” (Sabaoth), Isa 6:3.
The cherubim here have six wings, like the seraphim in Isa 6:2; whereas the cherubim in Eze 1:6 had four wings each. They are called by the same name, “living creatures.” But whereas in Ezekiel each living creature has all four faces, here the four belong severally one to each. See on [2689]Eze 1:6. The four living creatures answer by contrast to the four world powers represented by four beasts. The Fathers identified them with the four Gospels, Matthew the lion, Mark the ox, Luke the man, John the eagle: these symbols, thus viewed, express not the personal character of the Evangelists, but the manifold aspect of Christ in relation to the world (four being the number significant of world-wide extension, for example, the four quarters of the world) presented by them severally: the lion expressing royalty, as Matthew gives prominence to this feature of Christ; the ox, laborious endurance, Christ’s prominent characteristic in Mark; man, brotherly sympathy with the whole race of man, Christ’s prominent feature in Luke; the eagle, soaring majesty, prominent in John’s description of Christ as the Divine Word. But here the context best suits the view which regards the four living creatures as representing the redeemed election-Church in its relation of ministering king-priests to God, and ministers of blessing to the redeemed earth, and the nations on it, and the animal creation, in which man stands at the head of all, the lion at the head of wild beasts, the ox at the head of tame beasts, the eagle at the head of birds and of the creatures of the waters. Compare Re 5:8-10, “Thou hast redeemed us by Thy blood out of every kindred … and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth”; and Re 20:4, the partakers with Christ of the first resurrection, who conjointly with Him reign over the redeemed nations that are in the flesh. Compare as to the happy and willing subjection of the lower animal world, Isa 11:6-8; 65:25; Eze 34:25; Ho 2:18. Jewish tradition says the “four standards” under which Israel encamped in the wilderness, to the east, Judah, to the north, Dan, to the west, Ephraim, to the south, Reuben, were respectively a lion, an eagle, an ox, and a man, while in the midst was the tabernacle containing the Shekinah symbol of the Divine Presence. Thus we have “the picture of that blessed period when—the earth having been fitted for being the kingdom of the Father—the court of heaven will be transferred to earth, and the ‘tabernacle of God shall be with men’ (Re 21:3), and the whole world will be subject to a never-ending theocracy” (compare De Burgh, Exposition of Revelation).
The point of union between the two views given above is: Christ is the perfect realization of the ideal of man; Christ is presented in His fourfold aspect in the four Gospels respectively. The redeemed election-Church similarly, when in and through Christ (with whom she shall reign) she realizes the ideal of man, shall combine in herself human perfections having a fourfold aspect: (1) kingly righteousness with hatred of evil and judicial equity, answering to the “lion”; (2) laborious diligence in every duty, the “ox”; (3) human sympathy, the “man”; (4) the contemplation of heavenly truth, the “eagle.” As the high-soaring intelligence, the eagle, forms the contrasted complement to practical labor, the ox bound to the soil; so holy judicial vengeance against evil, the lion springing suddenly and terribly on the doomed, forms the contrasted complement to human sympathy, the man. In Isa 6:2 we read, “Each had six wings: with twain he covered his face (in reverence, as not presuming to lift up his face to God), with twain he covered his feet (in humility, as not worthy to stand in God’s holy presence), and with twain he did fly [in obedient readiness to do instantly God’s command].”
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary


Period.
The rest is history,
We are no accident. We are creation from a most intelligent designer. This designer is not nor could not be a physical being of this world. God is Spirit from outside our cosmos. He in His beautiful marvelous Trinity nature of Father, Son and Spirit is not constrained by the three dimensions we are; time, space and matter.
I hope you ponder this grand story and know this awesome Creator love you and I. He desires a relationship with YOU and I. Is that not mind blowing?
Ponder that. Embrace Jesus!

“For He spoke, and it came to be;
He commanded, and it stood firm.”
Psalms 33:9

My take: This is WHAT seperates the God of the Bible from the gods and and everyone else. This WHY He (not…it) is deserving of worship, praise and glory. This passage tells us HOW; He simply spoke existence into being from nothing! If you want to call that the ‘big bang’, fine but it was no accident and didn’t take billions upon billions of randomness to happen. God said, ‘let it be’ and BOOM! Its amazing and thus He is even more so. Its incredible how gravity keep the planets in their places. How atoms don’t randomly split apart for God, the One who loves you and I, commanded it so and to this day, they all hold firm. Because of the gross sin, God was forced to wipe the 1st act of people away save Noah and 7. In the book of Revelation, we read He will need do it again with fire. Maybe atomic, maybe not. Regardless, I sure hope to be out of this place.
My prayer: Creator of all, You are amazing and You created it all, including me. Help me to rise and shine and give You the glory You so richly deserve.

When you connect your talents, purpose and passion great things happen. At least so I am told 😉
I’m actually feel in the Zone somewhat frequently.
Our worldview is so important because if we are askew with that, it affects everything.
I love this info-pic and the concept of co-creating with God in the universe.
What say YOU?

Long before ‘scientific’ man figured out the earth was a sphere, God knew. And He told Job and he told us.
God has spoken many other truths in His divine Word which many a modern man refutes and all too often prefers to ignore. We are free to make most of decisions but few of the consequences.
Let’s marvel at His wonders and be in awe of our Creator.
“The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof,
the world and those who dwell therein,” Psalms 24:1b
My take: When you look out to nature, the sky, seas, rivers, creatures, stars, sun in its rise and set, rainbows, and the universe what do you see?

Accidental matter or a magnificent creation?
If you just see matter, there is some much you are missing. If you see creation, should we not be inspired to humility, worship, and awe of the being who made this something full out of ( ). Now that is POWER! Wondering working power!
My prayer: Lord, help me respect Your creation and see a glimpse of You in the fullness of Your creation this and every day.
