“ And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands;”
“And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.”
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Proverbs 8:22 “The LORD possessed me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth, before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world. When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside him, like a master workman, and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the children of man.
Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together
Psalms 33:6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
Isaiah 45:12 I made the earth and created man on it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host.
Hebrews 1:10 And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands;
It is hard to understand the awesomeness of God who with the word of His mouth He created all there is. I think about those who have fame and prestige in this world. People will drive or fly miles to just see them at a distance. I am not saying there is anything wrong in going to see them but rather making the point of their fame in light of God and His awesomeness. There is no comparison. We set sports players, performers, leaders in almost higher esteem than God. Some may challenge this but when you think about giving your whole heart, mind, and soul to fully humbly serve, honor, follow and obey the Creator of all there is, it appears there is a gap in our lives. It seems as though we state God is first in our life but in reality He is only first when we are sick, broke, hurt, or need divine intervention or direction. We become complacent and negligent in our walk with Him. Make Him more than a passing thought in your life. Look for His leading each day. Listen for His whispers of direction and follow obediently.
