“What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world.” – Albert Einstein(German born American Physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity. Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. 1879-1955)
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1)
The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. (Ps 19:1)
The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters. (Ps 24:1-2)
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? (Ps 8:3-4)
For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: “ I am the LORD, and there is no other.” (Isaiah 45:18)
“Now if I believe in God’s Son and remember that He became man, all creatures will appear a hundred times more beautiful to me than before. Then I will properly appreciate the sun, the moon, the stars, trees, apples, as I reflect that he is Lord over all things. …God writes the Gospel, not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.”— Martin Luther(1483-1546), theologian who began the Reformation
What a wonderful and prophetic message. In life we have many struggles, trials, broken dreams, financial difficulty,or broken relationship. But hey, there is One Name that can turn our misery into mystery. One Name that can turn defeat into glory. One Name that can bring our weakness into victory. The Name of JESUS. No other name!
In Ezra 9:8-9 it says: “And now for a little while grace has been shown from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage. For we were slaves. Yet our God did not forsake us in our bondage; but He extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to revive us, to repair the house of our God, to rebuild its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.” God spoke through Prophet Ezra to build the new temple of God that has been ruined. A temple that are far more glorious than the first. God used the King of Persia, an unlikely person who would help, and he brought favor and help the people to build the temple.
You see, God is our builder! He builds people’s lives. Jesus can restore lives, relationships, and the Church to a greater or more glorious state than the previous one. We matter to Him and He cares for us. We just need to have faith in Him and use his Godly wisdom to do what we can and leave everything to God what we cannot do on our own.
We pray that whatever ruins that you may have, our God will make them glorious!
” Let the ruins come to life In the beauty of Your Name Rising up from the ashes God forever You reign
And my soul will find refuge In the shadow of Your wings I will love You forever And forever I’ll sing” – Lyrics, Glorious Ruins by Hillsong Live
