Ephesians 1:11-12
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.

When you think about the universe, the One who created it is the One who has authority over it. God lovingly created our world with purpose, not only to provide for His creation, but also to display His glory. And whether people acknowledge Him or not, He remains the ultimate ruler and sustainer of all things.

1 Chronicles 16:34
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!

Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as faithful, compassionate, and steadfast in His love toward His people. Yet many would have you believe that God is the opposite: harsh, angry, or distant. But when you read His word, you find that He is exactly who He says He is. And that’s something to be thankful for today!

Jeremiah 32:17
Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.

God could’ve done anything He desired because He is all-powerful. But what’s incredible is what He chose to do with His power. He could have created a world where He simply demanded obedience, but instead He created humanity, in His image, with the ability to know Him, love Him, and choose to follow Him.

Isaiah 57:15
For thus says the One who is high and lifted up who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

The Creator of the Universe is holy, which means He is set apart from humanity. Unfortunately, it’s our sin that separates us from fellowship with Him. Which is why God generously established a way for us to be able to come into His presence. And it’s through His Son Jesus that we now have forgiveness and fellowship with God through repentance and faith.

John 13:17
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Jesus was so good at showing His love through His actions. And He wanted His disciples to follow in His footsteps. Which is why the night before He went to the cross, He washed their feet. And when you’re willing to serve others with your actions the same way Jesus did, you’re reflecting His heart to those around you in a powerful way.

James 2:26
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

As long as God gives you breath in your lungs, He has good works for you to do. Now, those works don’t save you, salvation is found in Christ alone. However, they do reveal that, not only is your faith genuine, but it also gives others a glimpse of the transforming power of the gospel.
