" You are Amazing God"



“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:” Colossians 1 v 16

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.  Revelation 4 v 11


The Word God means - 

1. Self Sustaining One  

2. Self Sufficient One

3. He who is


When we Worship God, we remember and acknowledge "The One who gave life and who sustains life", The Creator of all creation is the same who sustains all creation.  This is why God demands our worship.  It is an insult to God to worship or place 'worth' on an idol or god who can neither create or sustain anything, in fact without God himself nothing exists.  This is something that most Christians would agree with but very few really understand the depth of how important it is. 


The 1st commandment is Thou shall have no other gods before me, or you could say it this way "you shall not give credit or worship to anyone or anything else for creating or sustaining anything." 

You would not worship anything you regarded as worthless.  In fact the words WORTH and WORSHIP actually come from the same root word.  When you see the WORTH of something you would say it is WORTHY.  When we see who God really is - we will say He is Worthy of our Worship.

The human race can so easily get distracted with things of creation and situations around us that we can forget to acknowledge the Creator.

God demands our Worship - he wants us to enjoy his creation but the only way to truly enjoy what he has created is by acknowledging and knowing Him as Creator God.

We Worship Him when :-

  • we look at the mountains and say "How great is our God"
  • we look at the oceans and say "How mighty is our God"
  • we look at a flower and say "How beautiful is our God"
  • we look at the birds and say "How loving and caring is our God"
  • we see the rain and say "How gracious and mighty a provider our God is"
  • we look at the human race and say "How amazing is the Love of our God"
  • we look at a problem and say "There is nothing impossible with my God"
Our God the one who created all things and sustains all things is revealed all around us - everyday - and yet we are so easily blinded and distracted - we cannot recognise his presence.  All creation sounds his praise - YET - the praise and worship HE desires and seeks is silent - shut up inside our hearts.

Take time today to look around you and see his glory.  Thank him for who he is, the only true living God the creator of all things.  Acknowledge him today around you and in you.  

Romans 1 v 20  For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse and without defense.

The Word REPENT - in its truest definition means to TURN.

When we hear the word 'repent' we mostly think it is all about turning away from our sins - but we forget that God wants our attention, he wants us to look to him as our source of life our Father God, he wants us to acknowledge him in order to truly enjoy what he has created us for.  He desires our WORSHIP.

I pray this song "You're Amazing God" blesses you today and inspires you to look beyond your problems and difficult situations, even the darkness that may surround and know that the God of All Creation is waiting for you, he is longing for you to acknowledge him and worship him, and to allow him to rescue you and lift you.  As you 'turn' to him, and acknowledge him, he will not turn you away.  

There may be many things in your life that you are not happy about but instead of complaining or being angry and upset -  I ask you to take a few moments to thank God for being God.  While there is breath in your body you have an opportunity to Turn to Him and to trust him and to acknowledge him as God.

God is Good - HALLELUJAH

God is Good ALL the Time - HALLELUJAH This is a song we often sing in church - I love the words - but I'm so glad that the songs we sing aren't just about good words and catchy tunes - but they help us to express the wonder and gratitude to our Almighty Father and creator, and Lord and King.  How wonderful it is to be lost in Awe of his majesty, and wonderful and amazing love. When we consider that he has forgiven us and called us his own, we cannot stay silent but yet words fail to express what we feel.  So our whole body is moved - our hands raise up and our feet want to dance. I used to live in a house where my kitchen window looked out into the back of other houses - and one day I was singing this song and dancing in my kitchen, when I suddenly noticed that my neighbors (the 3 children and the mother) where all standing at their upstairs window watching me - at first I thought I should stop but I didn't because I really didn't care because I am not ashamed of

Rejoice Ahead of Time

To Rejoice Ahead of Time really is faith in action, because as we believe and receive we begin to rejoice in spirit that what we are believing for is on it's way now - that our prayer has been heard and has been answered.  There is a great expectation that something is going to happen - we don't know how or where and in what way things will change but like a child waiting on a surprise we are looking and listening with excitement and expectation.  This kind of faith is not easily shaken.  Even more bad news can become a stepping stone under our feet that lifts us up even higher and enables us to reach even deeper into the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.  When we allow ourselves to Rejoice and to be Thankful to God for answering our prayers it pleases the heart of our Heavenly Father and brings joy to him.  It is this joy that strengthens us to stand strong.  I used to believe that God would answer my prayer or heal me etc some TIME in the future, that everyt

Remember the good things

Image
Do you see the little bird in the picture?  Sitting so pretty, not a care in the world.  What a beautiful picture of tranquility and contentment.   Matthew 6 v 26 Jesus said  Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Have you ever asked yourself this question?  Today I have been thinking about how good God is and how worthy he is to be praised.  My heart is grieved at all the 'bad news' it seems that people remember the bad things easier than the good things. I have always loved to praise God and to sing praises to him.  I was very quiet and shy as a child, and was never asked to sing at sunday school or school, in fact I was told a number of times that I wasn't good enough.  But this didn't stop me singing to God, He never told me I wasn't good enough.  I didn't sing because I thought I was good at it, I sang because I wanted t
