You Own it All    Majestic Heavenly Father, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, you own it all because You made it all!  We, Your creation, worship You.   You made a beautiful world for us to live in and recognise You in; the stars at night, the trees, the sky, the clouds that bring Your water that renews Your creation at Your will.    And when You made us, it was in Your image, so that we have the ability to see You in Your glory, if we so wish, because You also gave us the aptitude to choose to climb above the awareness of mere creation - to see You and the Light of Your countenance.  Praise You for that, Almighty God.   The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.  (Psalms 145:17-18)   To show us that You did all this because you care for us, You sent Your Son to lead by example, so that all who believe by example and unreservedly give our wills, the core of our beings back to You shall be enabled; to be powered by Your eternal Spirit, who shall reveal Your wonders to us for Your good purpose.  Thank You, Father.   The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.  (Psalms 147:11)   All Glory rightfully belongs to You, Father, through Your triumphant Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the prowess of your Holy Spirit.  Hallelujah!   My friend, are you self-centred or God-centred?  Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.  (2 Corinthians 4:1-7)   Do you wish to become God-centred?  Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.  (Philippians 4:4-9) That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 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: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.  (Colossians 1:10-20)
