LOVE DID IT ALL
Genesis 1:26-31; 2:8-9; Eph 1:3; Col 2:10
God Himself is the personification of Love and it will be wise for us to glean from His nature and features of love.
Another expression of divine love as expressed in creation is that God created all that we ever will need before we would even need them. He created us to enter into His rest. He created us such that our first day on earth after creating us was His own day of rest so that we can receive strength from entering into His rest before we enter into our work.Our first day of work began after we have received strength from Him as we rested together with Him.
He created the seed bearing plants throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for our food. He gave us authority to take the plants, animals and even birds as food. He made the garden in Eden for us to exercise authority over even before creating us. He planted all sorts of beautiful trees therein producing choicest of fruits. All we ever needed was provided for even before we were created. What a LOVING FATHER WE HAVE!
While He planned for our recreation, He also made plans that all we will ever need will be found in Him. He gave us Christ in whom is all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge so that we can have all we need.
Beloved, each time we see the trees of the field, the flowers in our garden, the herbs and the shrubs, the animals in their pens and habitats and all other birds of the air, we should give thanks to God for His love towards us. Each time we wake up and remember Christ as given to us, even when we do not have anything on us, we should always celebrate the fullness we have in Him. It is only a love God that can do all these. How wretched are those who neglect such a loving Father as Him! How poor are those who deny Christ in their ignorance! How foolish are those who put other trust in riches forgetting that it was this Father who created all things!
It takes trust on God's side in His proposed objects of love to release all these blessings on Him even when He has not been tested. True love thrive in an atmosphere of trust and faithfulness.
Prayer: Father, I did not know that You love me this way. I did not know that you have honored me this way. Please open my eyes the more to see the riches of Your love and help me to respond aright to these revelations with the right heart of worship and faith. Amen!!!
