7 creation: the cattle on a thousand hills

Lord I look out my window and see a world created by You and for You. Every particle, every atom, every molecule, every organism, every grain of sand exists to acknowledge the supremacy of Christ in all the universe. All of it is meant to reflect a small part of Your image. You are invisible to us now but through Your creation You have allowed us to glimpse tiny portions of Your glory. Sometimes Lord I think I get to a mindset that I need to make You the center of my life. The truth is You are the center of my life, all life, and all things created in the universe. Your centrality is not affected by me in any way. This is the same for all of creation. You are the center of every unbelieving heart. The fact they they do not acknowledge You does nothing to change that. But their rejection of You and their attempt to find another center creates a separation. A separation that can only be healed by repentance. You cannot bless things that challenge Your place in our lives. Lord I pray that I clearly see You at the core of all things. That my will would be bent to reflect that vision.

created for Him, redeemed by Him
