Prayer: Lord, give me eyes to see the ways you have abundantly provided for me. Help me recognize my need for you to sustain me in both times of abundance and times of need. I do not want to chase temporary satisfaction in this world, but instead, I want to rely on your promises in every circumstance. Amen.
Dependent Creation
God has always existed. For us, this can be a hard concept to grasp, because our lives are surrounded by time. There was a time when you, your family, and your friends did not exist. The earth, stars, animals and even humanity all had distinct starting points. Everything we see is a part of God’s creation, and incredibly, we are the pinnacle. God formed creation to rely on itself in many ways. Plants need sunlight and rain to grow. Animals feed off of plants and other animals to survive. We need the earth to supply food and water so we can live another day. Creation is dependent on creation, and ultimately, on the Creator.
However, God is independent and does not need anything. God is completely self-sufficient, and as the Creator of all things, He does not need anything else to remain or survive. And yet, we are completely dependent upon created things. We cannot go a single day without relying on creation to survive. God is completely outside of all creation, yet He is intimately involved in sustaining all that He created. He did not create us to simply leave us alone. Instead, He created us out of love, and came down to earth because He loves us so much. He is personally and intimately involved with creation everyday. The God of the universe is so great that He relies on nothing, but allows us to rely on Him for everything.
Questions to Ask Yourself:
- What are things every day that you cannot live without?
- How do you depend on God daily?
- If woke up in the morning and only had what you thanked God for yesterday, how would that change the way you give thanks?
What’s Next?
- Make a list of 25 things, people, opportunities, etc. that you are thankful to God for providing.
