Today's Devotion Topic: God Of Wonders, Beyond Our Galaxy! Text: Psalm 115:3 "Our God is in heaven; He does whatever pleases Him." Amen. Who is God and where is He? The Lord God is the Mighty Creator of the entire universe. All creation depends on His sustaining power for existence. He is Supreme in all things yet loving and peaceful towards mankind. Come to think of it; how was the earth's foundations laid, how was its dimensions marked off, and on what were its footings set? How were the boundaries of the sea set, how does God give orders to morning and show dawn its place, how does He provide food for the raven? These and all the wonderful things we see, are made possible by His spoken word. Our text for the day points out two very unique attributes of God that make Him stand out among the gods: 1. Heaven is His throne and the earth His footstool (Isaiah 66: 1). It is a beautiful place built for His dwelling, glory and pleasure. A place so vast and capable of accommodating all the inhabitants of the earth and the host above, with room for more. Yet His presence fills the entire space and brings each and everyone so close to God, in such a unique way. So that, no one is ever really far. There in heaven, our God sits on a throne high and exalted (Isaiah 6: 1). From afar, He has "the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne" (Revelations 4: 3). Prophet Ezekiel had seen a little bit more of God much earlier, before John the revelator. He wrote: "And high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. I saw that from what appeared to be His waist up He looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down He looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded Him. Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around Him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord." (Ezekiel 1: 26b- 28a). Now, "from His dwelling place He watches all who live on earth" (Psalm 33: 14). 2. He does whatever pleases Him. The Almighty God is Sovereign. He is not answerable or accountable to anyone but Himself. If there was anyone above Him, He would have. But actually, there's none. That is why He has exalted His Word above His name so that whatever He says He will do, is exactly what He will do. Bound by His own word, He never goes contrary. Meditate on this for a minute. Do you see it now? Our God is so big, so strong and mighty- there is nothing He can not do. He has the power to shape your life to conform to His nature and glory. But oh man! Too many times and we are questioning Him. Getting disappointed in Him here and there because things didn't go as you always want it. Forgetting it is His love and mercies that bring us anywhere near Him, not our right. As for our deeds, the least said about them, the better. Begin to pray now, plead His mercy over your life, to pardon the ways you had wrongly perceived Him. Submit to His supremacy. Invoke His mighty power over your life and circumstance- A WONDERFUL CHANGE WILL COME ALL OVER YOU, IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME.
