God

The bottom line is simple.  It's not about us.  It's about God.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. (Genesis 1:1-2 NIV)

God created this game called life.  God creates the game.  God gets to make the rules.

Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. (Genesis 2:7 NIV)

God did more than create it.  God created us as well.  God knows how we are designed - how we are made.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalms 139:13-14 NIV)

Everywhere we go, God is with us.  We never need to worry about being alone.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. (Psalms 139:7-10 NIV)

When we were together at church service last Sunday, we reminded ourselves of three important truths.

1) God is with me wherever I go.

2) God is good all the time and all the time God is good.

3) God's got this.

These are only three of the many, many reasons to worship and praise our God.

Praise the LORD. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him! (Psalms 147:1 NIV)

How about you?  Do you worship God?  Do you praise God?  What are your reasons?
