Sunday Psalm 33 Power Greater Than Ourselves
Sunday April 2, 2017
Great debate goes on between scientists and theologians regarding how the earth came into being. Moses, a friend of God, recorded an account given by the creator Himself, of how the earth and human life came into existence. Some choose not to believe God’s account and look for explanations elsewhere. The following Psalm written by King David, another friend of God, restates how God spoke and the heavens, the earth, and the oceans were formed at the command of His word.
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. (Psalm 33:6-11 NIV) Instead of honouring God for the beautiful earth He created for mankind to live in, some people spend enormous amounts of time studying all sorts of ideas and alternate theories of how things came to be. God’s plans and purposes are not changed by human theories. God is in charge and His plans stand forever. The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to mankind. (Psalm 115:16 NIV)
In recovery we come to believe in God, the power greater than ourselves who can restore us to sanity. The same God who created the stars, the mountains and oceans, the plants and flowers, and the creatures of land and sea, made us in His image and wants us to have a wonderful life with Him forever. This powerful God is with us every day and the purpose of His heart is to bless us.
Prayer: Gracious God, we have come to believe in Your ways and Your power to restore us to life and sanity. We humbly ask You to renew us, Your Masterpieces, so we mirror Your original design. Amen
