Thankful for God's creative power

My goal with this blog is to encourage you. I am asking you, the reader, to stop what you are doing for part of your busy day and consider something to be thankful for. I hope you enjoy learning to be thankful about things just as I will be learning with you. Let's start at the beginning of things to be thankful for, because without a source, we would have nothing to be thankful for. I am thankful that God created and sustains all things by his power. That means that all things that were, all things that are, and all things that will ever be were/are/ and will be under God's full control. We are told this in the Bible, where we can go to learn more about God.

Created
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens that the earth
Genesis 5:2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and he named them Man when they were created
Isaiah 45:18 For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (he is God), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited): "I am the Lord, and there is no other."
John 1:1-4 In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
(Italics added by me for informative purpose, not trying to add to the word of God)

Sustain
Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved
Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Hebrews 1:3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high

So as you go about your day, remember to thank God for his creation and sustaining. Feel free to leave me a comment. I would love to hear about the things you are thankful for and how that has impacted your life. Also join me next post for continuing of why I am thankful for God's creating and sustaining power.
