Sunday, September 2, 2007: part of God's plan
how do we, the universe and every thing in it, God and His plan relate?
God created the world in 6 days, the heavens, the universe, the stars in the sky, the water, the plants, the flowers, the animals, from the tiny ant to the tall giraffe, and on the 6 day, He created Adam and Eve, and it was all very good.
it amazes me to see how the complexity of everything in the universe is so vast, it is so amazing that God created all of this for us, even though we are small and insignificant compared to God. God thought of what we would need, and He created it. He put everything in the universe under our care, our dominion, our control.
today i was reminded through
pastor graham's sermon of how each and everyone of us are created in God's unique and perfect image. we all have worth because God has thought about us before we were even born, He knew everything about us. that goes how much to show how He put great care into planning our arrival into the earth, and shows how much He loved us to create us.
today i was reminded of how we judge people. as human beings, in general, we all judge others, situations and things in someway or other. the job is not too well done, she's too fat, he's so stupid etc. did we ever stop to think about how in everything, every circumstance, every situation, God is in control? did we ever have faith in God to entrust everything to His soverign plan? have we ever considered that every person that we judge is created by God and is part of God's intelligent design? wouldnt that be judging what God had initially spent time to think of and create that person we critise?
i can truthfully admit that most of the time, my answer would be no.
i think this is why we need God all the time to open our eyes to the things that we are blind to; this is why we depend so much on God's grace, mercy and love for all of us, despite all our shortcomings.
Who compares to You?
You who bring the morning light,
The hope of all the earth,
Is rest assured in Your great love.
No one ever will compare to You, Jesus.
