The Almighty Creator

Romans 1:20 “For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature...”

Greetings in the name of our mighty Lord,

When I originally published this DEVO a little over two years ago, there were only two dogs in the family:Tucker and Trooper.  Since then, Hormone and Lis have added Mili Moon to their crew.  Rachel and Emilio, in addition to currently expecting a baby girl, have added THREE more canines to their growing family, and of course, Hershey Pie, my precious pooch, is now like another child to me.  Jorge and I are completely smitten.

All this madness, all these animals, the promise of a new baby now and more in the future, all of this makes me grateful for God's amazing creation!  The vastness of it, the attention to detail, the unparalleled beauty of it, and it strengthens my faith.

When we pray, we are enlisting the help of the Almighty Creator of it all!  I wonder if we can fully grasp the magnitude and magnificence of our Lord?  The One Who made the sunset and the sunrise is the One Whom answers us.  The One Who filled the beaches with endless grains of sand and the forests with canopies of trees, is the One Whom cradles us in the palm of His hands. The One Who provided so many precious animals for us to enjoy is the same One Whom leans in close when we call His name.  The One Who places babies in wombs is the One Whom spreads His wings of protection over us.

    

If you find yourself having doubts, go outside and stare at the heavens.  Remind yourself that God’s eternal power and divine nature are reflected in His creation.  The Word says we can “clearly” see God’s qualities.  And among the innumerable qualities He has is that when we worship Him for what He has done and pray for Him to display His power in our lives, He does!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Whenever we feel like our faith is failing, remind us to just step outside and look up and absorb Your handiwork.  Surely You, Who placed trillions of stars in the sky, are powerful enough to help us.  We believe it! In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
