God Of Creation

Dan 8 od 11

Prayer: My Creator and Lord, you made me uniquely and with purpose. Thank you for loving me enough to create me and save me by grace through faith. Help me put my faith into action and to walk in the good works that you have prepared for me. Amen.

Art with Purpose

In yesterday’s devotional, we talked about how there are 150 times more cells in your body than there are stars in our galaxy. The human body is incredibly complex, pointing to the love and care of our Creator. But there’s more! Each of those cells in your body were formed with a complete copy of your genome, a code made up of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. Unless you are an identical twin, that code is completely unique to you—is is highly unlikely that anyone has had the exact genetic code you do, or ever will. 

Your DNA is the blueprint for all of the proteins that form that cells that make up your body. According to Science Focus Magazine, if you were to extract your DNA from any one of your microscopic 32.7 trillion cells and unwind it, it would be about 2 meters (or 6.5 feet) long. This means that all of the DNA in your body could stretch across the diameter of our solar system twice!

You are incredibly complex and unique—a true work of art by the most creative Being in existence. In his letter to the church of Ephesus, the Apostle Paul concludes his explanation of our salvation by God’s grace through our faith by saying that we are God’s workmanship. We were created to bear the very image of God, and we were created anew in Christ. We have been given a new identity and a new purpose to walk in the good works that the Lord has prepared for us.

Questions to Ask Yourself:

  1. What are the good works that God has prepared for you to do?
  2. How can you walk in those good works today?

What’s Next? 

  1. Set a timer and spend 10 minutes thanking God for the people he’s placed in your life. They have all been made with the same level of care and love that God spent on you! Consider how He has challenged and encouraged you through the words and actions of others. Ask Him to bring one person to mind who would appreciate a short note of gratitude from you this week.
