Who else has held the oceans in his hand?
Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers?
Who else knows the weight of the earth
or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale?
Who is able to advise the Spirit of the Lord?
Who knows enough to give him advice or teach him?
Has the Lord ever needed anyone’s advice?
Does he need instruction about what is good?
Did someone teach him what is right
or show him the path of justice?
Who has held oceans, measured the heavens, weighed the earth? When I consider what God is able to do, and I must confess I cannot comprehend all He is able to do. I am amazed that he desires a relationship with us. In fact, if you continue in the today's reading from the book of Ephesians you discover this truth...
Praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.
Paul says, because He loved us He has...
- Blessed us with every spiritual blessing
- Chosen us
- Adopted us
This weekend as you worship, I hope you remember that God takes great pleasure in having a relationship with you. Just thinking about God in this way should truly transform you as you worship Him
