ATLANTA (BP)–The God of Creation is my God and your God –TODAY! And there is so much we can learn about God from what we see of Him in His creation.
First, He is sovereign. When He wills something it always comes to pass. In creation it is said many times that:
1. God said …
2. … and it was so.
3. … and it was good.
When God speaks it happens, and it is always good. What a wonderful revelation we receive from the very beginning of the Bible (Gen. 1:9-10, 11-13, 14-18, 20-21, 24-25). God is omnipotent. He always possesses infinite power. That which He speaks comes to pass and that which He purposes He does (Isa. 14: 24, 27; 46:10-11).
Then, we see God actively at work among His people throughout the Bible. He created them, and He always thinks and desires the very best for them. In short, He loves them! In Jeremiah 29:11-13 He says: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
God’s “good will” for His people is always accomplished if they but seek, yield and obey Him. And this, of course, remains true in our day. God is still actively at work in our lives and our churches. He is even present and active in our workplaces. But we must stay so close to God that we know with full assurance that if and when He speaks into our lives it will always “be so” and it will always “be good.” But, again, it is imperative that we seek Him with all our heart and release our lives in FAITH for God to work in us and through us.
When you ask the God of the universe to make known His will in your life to you, you must do the following:
1. Have an intimate relationship with Him so you can hear His voice.
2. Have a faith that will always believe Him.
3. Have a heart to trust and obey Him.
4. Let Him do His will in you and through you wherever He places you daily.
Remember, God does not change! As He was in creation He is now in your life today. Let the world see His creative hand at work in you and through you. Our world desperately needs to know Him through you, your family, your church and your business.
