Beloved…Our Sovereign Lord set up the entire universe and everything in it. He did it all without consulting our pea brains. God does not really need us. So, why were we created?In Isaiah 43:7 (NIV), God talks of mankind, “Whom I created for my glory”. God tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV), "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
So we were created to glorify God. We can glorify the Almighty One through what we say, how we act, and what we are thinking. We should acknowledge how glorious He is and put Him above all things.
We glorify God through our desire to know Him. The more we rejoice over Him "so will your God rejoice over you." Isaiah 62:5 (NIV).
Be grateful, rejoice and have a desire to know and obey Him.
Shalom,

Hey Rick,
ReplyDeleteI see your postings on Facebook and I have a question for you ... I've been trying to be a good witness. How do you reach out to those who reject God or think they don't need God but go with Science? I know we can pray for them, I got into a conversation with someone today and they can't accept that God created everything. They said, why does God have to be the creator? Why can't it be some scientific thing like big bang theory type thing. Even with all the evidence I shared, it was useless. They're very hard hearted and of course they don't understand the concept of faith either.
You're thought would be greatly appreciated. :)
Thanks,
John
