\nJob 12:7\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cBut ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you: or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.<\/p>\n
Jeremiah 8:7<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Even the stork in the heavens knows her times, and the turtledove, swallow, and crane keep the time of their coming, but my people know not the rules of the LORD.\u00a0\u00a0Beware lest you say in your heart, \u2018My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 27:5-6<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cIt is I who by my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth, with the men and animals that are on the earth, and I give it to whomever it seems right to me.<\/p>\n

God is in control of all things at all times.\u00a0 <\/span>We would do well to plant this firmly in our mind and water it frequently with our heart seeking to honor Jesus Christ.\u00a0 <\/span>I like how Job says to his friends; \u201cwho among these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?\u201d He said this to say to his friends that he knows this is at the hand of God.\u00a0 <\/span>His point is that God, creator of all there is and the one who is in control of all things can do as He plans and purposes. He is the creator!\u00a0 <\/span>It is through Jesus Christ that we live, move, and have our being.\u00a0 <\/span>We and all of creation.\u00a0 <\/span>Yet, we seem to go days on end without giving thought to the Creator or giving thanks to the Creator or honoring the Creator, or clinging to, relying on, and trusting in the Creator.\u00a0 <\/span>Why is this?\u00a0 <\/span>Why is it we live day after day, and week after week with shallow commitments to Him?\u00a0 <\/span>Are we too busy?\u00a0 <\/span>Are we occupied by other things more important than the Creator?\u00a0 <\/span>Is He not worthy of all of our time?\u00a0 <\/span>Can we go about our day and have him first on our minds?\u00a0 <\/span>Jesus Christ is our living water and bread of life.\u00a0 <\/span>He is the one who will fill the void we have from shallow complacent commitment.\u00a0 <\/span>Jesus Christ is so much more than worthy of our honor, glory, worship, and praise.\u00a0 <\/span>It is time to start living each moment of every day intentionally for Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
