Respecting Your Creator

 

Acts 17:28 - For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring.  

A lot of the divisions and chaos in our country today are because a great many people do not respect their Creator. You did not create God, He created you. You didn’t invent God; He is the Creator of all things. Revelation 4:11 - Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

When you approach the Lord, it should be as a humble servant rather than one who already thinks they know it all.

Personally, as a seventeen-year-old teenager, I thought I knew more than my parents. Looking back, I realize they recognized and understood the areas that I didn’t have the experience to make decisions in. They were doing their best to teach me in those areas.

The same is true in your relationship with God. No matter how old or experienced you are, you do not have the all-knowing point of view that God has. His level of understanding is far above anyone, a level that you have no idea about. So, with every storm, heartbreak, or trial God is inviting you to trust Him and learn.

Don’t act like I did, a headstrong teenager. Rather, have faith that your Heavenly Father is leading you wisely in the right direction.
