Friday Night:
Jeremiah 51:15
Quote:
15 "He made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
God made everything, great and small; from the smallest atom to the vastness of the universe. God is in everything and is everywhere.
Psalm 139:13-14
Quote:
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Everyone is uniquely crafted by God, before he/she is born.
In short, both of these show how wise and great God is and how he took the time to create us. Because he took the time to create us it shows how much He loves us. We are so small compared to the universe yet, God took time to craft us into something special, something unique. God created the cells that we are made of and the human body itself is an amazing creation. God is truely wise and worthy of our praise. All I can say is "How great is our God?"
Read Job 38
Paraphrasing this is God questioning Job about where Job was when the universe was created. God speaks about the wonders of the Earth that He created.
Main Point: God created everything, why shouldn't we want to praise him?
Night Study With My Youth Group:
Colossians 1:15-17
Quote:
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
God is alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. He is everywhere. Jesus was the Son of God and is greater than any human. Everything was made by God and for God.
Job 5:9
Quote:
9 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.
Job 9:10
Quote:
10 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.
Miracles exist in our world today, you just have to look for them. Count the blessings God has given to you.
Hebrews 11:1
Quote:
1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Although we cannot see God directly, we have faith he is there.
Isaiah 40:28
Quote:
28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
God is eternal and no one can fathom His wisdom or power.
James 4:14
Quote:
14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
Humans are only on Earth for a short time, use yur time wisely and make the best of the life you've been given...
God has given us all a life that we should be grateful for, regardless of the situation. Even in suffering and sadness we should praise him because he is worthy of our praise.
And that's it...Any questions feel free to ask and I will try my best to answer them...I will post the other notes later Hopefully it all makes sense
