"I thank you, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen." (Luther's Morning Prayer)
Day 97 - (Today’s Bible readings 2 Samuel 22:26-51; Psalm 92; Hebrews 3:1-11)
GOD IS THE BUILDER OF EVERYTHING
“For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.” (Hebrews 3:4 ESV)
When it comes to the origin of the world, many Bible doubters say that God didn’t create the world by the power of His word. However, we do believe what the Bible has to say:
“The builder of all things is God.”
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)
We Christians take great comfort in the fact that we are not the result of random happenstance. Instead, we are part of God’s plan.
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise him, for he is your health and salvation!
Let all who hear Now to his temple draw near,
Joining in glad adoration!
(“Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,” Lutheran Service Book, CPH 2006 #790)
Lord Jesus, thank You for creating the world and everything and everyone in it. Help me to always remember that You, the King of creation, are in charge of everything. Amen.
