John 1:6

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. (John 1:6, ESV)
Such a simple sentence, a statement of a fact, but what a powerfully amazing fact!

God is not an uninvolved deity. He sent a man into the world.  That man's name was John. Praise God today for His involvement in our lives.  He doesn't leave us without messengers to know His will.

Ephesians 4:31

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. (NIV) This verse might be best served with some definitions. Bitterness - Just what it says, bitterness. It is a bitter root that produces a bitter fruit. Rage - Usually translated as Wrath. It has to do with a passionate anger.

We could talk about all of the wonders that God does. Everything from the rings of Saturn and the Sombrero Galaxy to the forming of a child inside its mothers womb or even how electrons are spinning around the atoms and not flying off.

He doesn't just get credit for great wonders, He gets credit for all of them, because the verse says, "to him who alone does great wonders..." God has no counterpart. He has no arch-rival. There is none like Him, and He is the only one who is doing the wonderful stuff! He is the changer of hearts and lives. He is the redeemer. He is the savior. He is the God who hears and the God who sees. And the most wonderful of all, His love endures Forever!

Psalm 50:6

And the heavens proclaim his righteousness,     for God himself is judge.         Selah (NIV) What a wonderful judge we have. He is not like the judges that proliferate our judiciary systems of this modern world. He is a righteous judge. He is the author and judge of His own laws. Because of this, the heavens themselves proclaim this righteousness.
