Precious Moments That Count For EternitySample

In Him We Live and Move We sometimes wonder how the world came to be. But the answer is right here, in today’s Scripture. God created the earth and everything in it. The Bible begins with this fact: God created the heavens and the earth. God created the sky, seas and land. He created the plants, animals, fish and birds. God created all that we see and experience. The Bible not only tells us that the world was created by God. It also tells us who this God is. It reveals His personality, character and His plan for creation. God did not need to create the universe. He chose to create it. Why? God is love, and love is best expressed toward something or someone else. Thus, God created the world with people as an expression of His love. It reveals His deepest desire to relate to and fellowship with the people He created. God took the ultimate step toward fellowshipping with us through His historic visit to planet earth, in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ. We can know God, who created the universe, in a very personal way. Once we realize God is our Creator, we ought to surrender our lives into His hand. If He is our Creator, we must also know that He is our Master and Owner. Thus, we do not live carelessly but live a life with a purpose. We do not live just for the sake of living. Paul said, ‘For in him we live and move and have our being’ (Acts 17:28a NIV). Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You for creating me in Your image and likeness. May I never forget that You have a good plan for me. I surrender my life to Your Son, Jesus Christ. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
