Revelation

I have heard the phrase that God even rested on the 7th day, what makes us think we don't need to rest. Today as I was reading in Genesis 1, I got a couple new revelations. First If it took God 6 days to make the earth and everything in it, what makes us think we can do it all in one day. Everything is a process. It builds upon that which is already there. The more that is there, the more there is to build upon equaling more results.

Second, as I was pondering all this the idea came to me about God never experiencing set back. He's never failed. Never attempted to do something and had it fail. That is not completely true. While God has never sinned, never done anything wrong, He HAS experienced setbacks. Look at us! The difference is that God makes the best of every situation. He has a remarkable ability to turn things about and bring good out of them. Just like He did with Jesus. He took a hopeless situation of eternity away from His children and CREATED a way to bring us back to Him. He didn't let "the chips fall where they may" per say. He did something about it. God is purposeful in all that He does. We were created in His image. We need to be purposeful in what we do and create opportunities (with His help of course because outside of Him we can do nothing).

Love this verse:

Revelation 4:11 (NKJV)
You are worthy, O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
For You created all things,
And by Your will they exist and were created.
