Today God says:
"I have made all things for myself".
He promises me:
"The Lord has made all things for himself, even the wicked for the day of evil". (Prov. 16:4)
My response to the word:
God is the Creator of the entire universe. He is my Creator, and I realize that He created me in His image. He created me to worship Him and to enjoy him forever. Throughout this day, therefore, I will remember that God made me for Himself. I give my life to Him afresh.
My prayer:
Lord, thank you for creating me in just the way you did. It gives me great pleasure to serve you, and I will worship you forever.
Today's scriptures:
"So God created humans in His image. In the image of God He created them". (Gen. 1:27 GW) "He created all things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible". (Col. 1:16 GW) "Our Lord and God, you deserve to receive glory, honour, and power because you created everything. Everything came into existence and was created because of your will". (Rev. 4:11 GW)
Quote for today:
An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself. (A W Tozer)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
