Another opportunity to nurture your first love for God

You, O LORD God, being armed with strength, formed the earth.

You shaped the mountains, you created the seas.

You hung the earth in space, tilted it at the exact right angle to provide seasons, spun it at the optimum rate to make each day of perfect length, and sent it off into the proper orbit around the sun, moving it at the best pace, making the year’s length just right.

You gave it the moon for light at night, for making tides and protecting us from asteroids.

You keep all in place until your plan is fulfilled, when you will end time and history, creating a new Heaven and new earth.

Your faithfulness is our certainty that the world cannot be moved without your permission.

Truly, we can say with Asaph, “Whom have I in heaven but you, and earth has nothing I desire besides you” (Ps. 73:25).

We bow before you, Lord God Almighty, we praise you for your majestic, wise, pure, just and gracious being.

Prayer: “Lord, I give myself afresh to you in offering, bowing in surrender, rising up to obey you in trust, standing to glorify you in wholehearted application of your Word. To you be glory today in all my motives, attitudes, thoughts, words and decisions. Amen.”
