“OH, HOW GREAT ARE GOD’S RICHES AND WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE! HOW IMPOSSIBLE IT IS FOR US TO UNDERSTAND HIS DESCISIONS AND HIS WAYS.” ROMANS 11:33
“FOR EVERYTHING COMES FROM HIM AND EXISTS BY HIS POWER AND IS INTENDED FOR HIS GLORY. ALL GLORY TO HIM FOREVER! AMEN.” ROMANS 11:36
Sometimes we forget the purpose for which man was put upon this earth. Man and woman were created in the image of God, to go forth and to populate the earth and live life in comfort, just as God intended. We forget that all things come from God and that all things are intended for his glory. But evil also entered the world, the devil himself. He came with lies and temptations that Adam and Eve both succumbed to. God had created Adam and Eve with their own free will and they had the ability to choose right from wrong. They made a decision that would affect humanity forever. Why? Romans tell us that it is impossible for us to understand the decisions our God makes. But we do know that all things were created for the glory of God in heaven. We exist by his power, and we are intended to live lives that glorify and honor him. We are given that opportunity, by the sacrifice God made, in sending his only son to die for us. Without God sending Jesus to this earth to overcome evil, we would all be doomed. God wants all creation to follow him. Just like Adam and Eve we have a choice. We can either follow the evil ways of this world or we can choose life and follow Jesus. What great riches we receive when we make the choice to follow Jesus! It may not be the easiest choice, but it is the wisest. Let us believe we receive and glorify him daily in both word and deed! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
