This morning I was reminded that ALL things are created by God. I was brought to Psalm 8 as I shifted my study to the word “works”. Again, being open to the Word of God as He plans for me, I started with just reading the verse and then passage. I was struck by how God gave control to Jesus of all His works. And that is where it hit me with the reminder, God’s works is everything.
“6You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
7all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.”
— Psalm 8:6-8 (ESV)
God’s works are all encompassing. Remember Genesis and that God spent six days creating the world, light, the sky, dry land and the seas and plants and trees, the sun and moon and stars, sea creatures and flying creatures, land creatures and man. When looking at all of these things, it is clear that God created all with His hands. And see below in John another confirmation of God’s creation of all.
“3All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.” — John 1:3 (ESV)
I have to continually remember that it is God who has created everything and Jesus was given dominion over those things and came to this world to be with the people and bring His salvation to all. He did not come to rule, but to serve those creations of His father and to be the example for each of us that we should be doing the same. We are to remember that all was created by God and it is our role to be stewards and servants with/to those creations to honor Him.
What are your beliefs when comes to the creator of all things? Are you of the belief that somehow God was not involved and therefor you do not honor them? What if you changed that thinking to God did create all things (as noted in His Word) and that our role is to steward and serve those creations to honor Him?
