Read It, Learn It, Live It, Share It
“Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.” – Isaiah 40:26
It’s an amazing sight to see into the far reaches of the universe. Man has created such unbelievable technology in the area of space and the ability to capture images that a human eye could never see. I look with awe at the spectacular Orion’s Nebula or Fox Fur Nebula (see photo) and it boggles my mind to think that God created it all with just a word. Recorded in Genesis 1:1 – ‘God created the heavens and the earth.”, and I gesture to say we have yet to truly grasp the fullness of that statement. Well beyond anything we can imagine still exists out there somewhere, and it makes me wonder if in eternity it becomes the fields and streets we walk upon.
Now as we gaze in amazement at the universe and the complexities of His creation, look within yourself. He created you as well. In Colossians 1:16, Paul reassures those in Colosse, that all things were created by God, with the emphasis on all things. Additionally, all things were created for God. You were created for Him. That’s the truth of why you are here. You aren’t here to fulfill your dreams or goals, you are here to serve the One who created you. We are all guilty of believing the lies of society telling us that we need to do more, make more and get more to be successful in life. God’s message is simpler than all of that. Put Him first, put His purpose first, serve Him with your life and spread His love to those who need to hear it.
He gave you talents, skills and gifts to use for His purpose. He created each of us perfectly to serve Him. For as amazing as the galaxies, universe and stars are you are His most amazing creation and have unbelievable potential. It’s about time we all started living up to that potential, don’t you think. Spend some time this weekend carefully thinking about what it is God created you to do for Him. Then in your prayer time, ask Him to help you find a way to achieve these things.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for making each of us unique and perfect. You have embedded in each of us a desire to serve You, a longing to do more for Your purpose and to use our life to bring glory to You. Help us identify this purpose and strive to achieve it. Thank You for making me who I am, amazing and wonderful in Your eyes. I want to serve You more and live the life You planned for me. In Jesus name I pray – Amen.
