Prayer: My Father, I praise you for being the God of all creation and I thank you for crowning me and others with the honor of bringing about life in your world today. Help me believe that I have the value and worth you say that I do, and aid my effort in helping others find this truth. In a broken world, I ask that your truth would bring life to everyone around me. Provide opportunities for me to enter the pain of this world so that, through me, you may bring healing. Amen.
Acknowledging Our Place
The story of creation begins in Genesis with God starting with nothing, then creating order and life out of chaos. With the dust of the ground, He created Adam, whose name is roughly translated as “dirt.” And starting with Adam, all of humanity was born. With limitless possibilities at His disposal, God chose what seemed to be the lowliest of all creation - “the dirt-beings” - to rule with divine authority, and bring order to His world.
It says in Isaiah 44 that God formed us from the womb. Isaiah 64 tells us that the Father is our potter, and we are the clay being formed by His hand for a purpose! David’s writings in Psalms 8 beautifully illustrate how mindful God is of us. He writes that though we were made a little lower than the hosts of heaven, and did not radiate the same glory as the stars, He still chose to crown “the dirt-beings” with honor and glory by sharing with us the authority to bring about life and order in this world.
Questions to Ask Yourself:
- Do you see yourself as someone God crowned with honor and glory?
- Is there someone in your life right now that you need to view as having this same intrinsic God given worth?
- In what ways have you brought about chaos in areas of your life where God calls us to bring order and peace?
What’s Next?
- Ask the Lord to help you see the people around you as having God given value and worth that is greater than all of creation.
- Look for ways you can bring about life and order to those around you in a broken world that is groaning with pain.
