Blessed to Be Created

Hi there Dreamers! It’s been way too long and time seems to be going even faster than normal. Today happens to be my birthday…that’s right God has blessed me with another day, year to be alive and I am so grateful. Today, when opening my bible app…the verse of the day was Genesis 1:1: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” I wanted to also share the devotional and prayer with you all as we remember to go after the dreams and purpose God designed us to go after. Devotional: God as Your Creator Have you ever paused to reflect on God as your Creator? God is unlike any other that is, was, or will be. He alone is able to fully sustain that which He creates. And He alone is able to create, merely by speaking it into existence. “Genesis” means “beginning,” and it’s where we read about God’s first creation. If you dig deeper into the pages of Scripture, you learn about power by which God creates. Take John 1:1-3: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through him, all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made.” Or Colossians 1:16: “For in him, all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.” The writer of Hebrews assures us that, “by faith, we understand that the universe was created by the word of God so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible” (Hebrews 11:3 NIV). This “Word” is Jesus Christ, and through Him, God brought everything into existence. The ultimate redemption of all God’s promises will come through that same Word—Jesus Christ. Reflect on that truth for a moment: The same power that spoke the universe into existence is the same power that will bring about the redemption of all things promised. Today, take some time to reflect on God’s role as Creator, and allow it to fill you with great hope. Because He’s not just any creator; He’s your Creator, and He holds the very universe—and your life—in His hands.
