G-et into God's Word

Hebrews 1:1-4

'In the past, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. ' 

R-eflect into God's Word

What God's creation has caused you to worship him?

Have we seen a watchmaker? What are they doing and how they fix the broken wristwatches? it's hard to work with magnifying glasses and tweezers. We can see them takes apart, cleanse, and reassembles the tiny parts of specialty mechanical watches. there is a special component of a timepiece, and it's called the mainspring. The mainspring is the component that moves all the gears to allow the watch to keep time. Without it, even the most expertly designed watch will not function.

In the book of Hebrews, the writer eloquently praises Jesus for being the one through whom God created the heavens and the earth. Like the intricacy of a specialty watch, every detail of our universe was created by Jesus (v.2). From the vastness of the solar system to the uniqueness of our fingerprints, all things were made by him.

But more than that creator, Jesus, like a clock's mainspring, it's essential for the function and flourishing of creation. His presence continually "sustains all things by his powerful word" (v.3), keeping all that he has created working together in all its amazing complexity.

O-bey to transform

Have you seen the opportunity to experience the beauty of his creation today? If yes, remember that in him all things hold together (Col.1:17).

W-restle in Prayer

Jesus thank you for the ways You care for and sustain Your creation. May we recognize your central role in both creating and sustaining the universe result in a joyful heart and may we respond with praise as we acknowledge your ongoing provision for us.
