You Were Made for This

By Chris Baxter

Creation reflects the creator. When you see a wonderful work of art, or watch an awesome movie, or read an incredible book, you naturally applaud the one who "birthed" the masterpiece.Now look around you. Whether you're in the mountain range of Colorado, or by the oceanside of the Florida beaches, or in the hills and valleys of Tennessee, a majestic Creator can be applauded. All of His creation praises Him! I love how Scripture attests to this truth: Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy (Psalm 96:11-12)

Let us remember and take to heart that we, too, are His creation. As a matter of fact, we are His crowning glory, the ones fashioned with hearts and souls and minds. He made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor (Psalm 8:5).So if the sun, moon, and stars, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, the mountains, hills, and valleys, if all of these things are praising His name, shouldn't we as well? And shouldn't we be leading the way?Choose to praise Him today. Shout "thank You's" and sing adorations to the Creator of your unique and gifted self; because, human being, you were made for this...Arise shine, your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. Isaiah 60:1

Don't look back

And as (the angels) brought them out, one said, "Escape for your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley..." Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven...But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt." Genesis 19:17, 24,26

Dear Lord,

In our own lives, please help us to run away from any kind of idol or evil and not look back in a wanting way. Make our hearts and minds determined to press forward, relying on your mercy, grace, and provision. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
