Verse of the Day 8/27

Verse of the Day 8/27

1 Corinthians 8:6

English Standard Version

6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

Today's verse came up in the read through the New Testament plan that I follow.  In it, Paul gives us a reminder that there is one God, theiri is one Savior who created all there is and has given us life.  Reading the verse brought me back to the Doxology that we often sang in chruch when I was growing up.  I wish we'd still sing it often.  We need to be reminded that all things flow from and through Him.

1. Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
   Praise Him, all creatures here below;
   Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host;
   Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

The words are simple and serve as a reminder to praise God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit for everything we have.

The verse also brings me back to Paul's writings in Romans 8 and at the end of chapter 11 where he expounds on the "all things" that we have in Christ.

As you worship today, think about all that you have in God, in Christ, in the Spirit living in us and praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Blessings,

Mike

Romans 11:33-36

English Standard Version

33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

34 "For who has known the mind of the Lord,
    or who has been his counselor?"
35 "Or who has given a gift to him
    that he might be repaid?"

36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
