Today God says:
"All things were created by Jesus Christ".
He promises me:
"For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they are thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him". (Col. 1:16)
My response to the word:
Jesus Christ, my Saviour and Lord, is "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature". He created everything that exists in heaven and on earth. Everything was created by Him and for Him. Paul goes on to explain, "He is before all things and by Him all things consist". The Creator of the universe lives in me.
My prayer:
Lord God, thank you for Jesus Christ who created all things. I love Him with all my heart.
Today's scriptures:
"He created all things in heaven and earth, visible and invisible. He existed before everything and holds everything together". (Col. 1:15,17 GW) "God wanted His people throughout the world to know the glorious riches of this mystery - which is Christ living in you, giving you the hope of glory". (Col. 1:27 GW) "Our Lord and God, you deserve to receive glory, honour, and power because you created everything. Everything came into existence and was created because of your will". (Rev. 4:11 GW)
Quote for today:
As the sun creates your shadow, God creates your soul - but in each case it is you who determine the shape of it. (Frank Clark)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
