Scripture

Hebrews 1

1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3 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. 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

Observation

There is always the tendency to worship something else, even to the point of angel worship rather than the Creator. Jesus created the universe. Creation is amazing, but just as amazing is how His Power sustains everything. We are at the beach this week and it is neat to watch the ocean full of so much life! Our cottage is only about 150 feet from the shoreline, but the water has its place where it stops and today anyone can tell how far the water will rise and fall with the tide. It is all just amazing. Yesterday, I saw a huge tarpon come out of the water twice chasing bait. He was majestic and powerful. He is a small part of Christ’s wonderful creation! Watching storms is one of my favorite things to do while at the beach. God displays His power through the wind, the lightening, the thunder and it is just a small part of Christ’s creation. Only Jesus is worthy of worship and we need to worship the Creator and not stuff that has been created!

Application

I will worship Christ today in the midst of His Creation!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for giving us oceans for us to enjoy! Thank you for the wonders of this world. It is beautiful. It was so much fun watching our grandchildren having fun yesterday at the beach. They are the best gift I could ever receive from you. Thank you for allowing me to personally know you and giving me a life that is so rich and full. I am very grateful this morning for you letting me experience all the beauty and wonder of all that you have created. In Jesus Name Amen.
