I love how God is so comprehensive that He is both the First AND the Last, and the Beginning AND the End. He is the unoriginated Originator. The uncreated Creator. The endless End. It’s something our minds just can’t grasp, but will forever be discovering. I have a #processvideo over on the @creativeretreat YouTube channel with this #biblejournaling entry which is full of texture and words and uses the Alpha and Omega collection. There’s a video link in my profile.
Phil. 1:21 says, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” The word “gain” in the original language is “kerdos” and means profit or advantage. It has a transactional connotation, and implies the profit or gain from an investment or trade. We indeed profit when we live in and for Christ, and we also profit when we die in and for Christ. Whether living or dying for Him, we gain Christ. It’s a win either way!
Revelation‬ ‭4:11‬ says, “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they were created and have their being.” Too often I lose sight of God’s greatness and honor, and think of Him as my own personal God. He IS that, but He’s also the majestic and magnificent Creator and Sustainer of this vast universe! I should be living every moment of my life honoring and glorifying Him, living a life worthy of Him and His love. For HE. IS. WORTHY.
Jesus created this world, and He sustains this world. That includes me and my mess. He makes a beautiful collection out of the messy pages of my life. I’m using the new “Alpha and Omega” collection from @creativeretreat ~ I have a process video for this page over on the Creative Retreat YouTube Channel. There’s a link in my profile to take you there, or you can go to youtube.com/CreativeRetreatKits.
3/4 of the year is almost past, and I thought I’d revisit my focus word for 2021: SEEK. I considered the Magi, who studied Old Testament scriptures and prophecies (such as this passage in Numbers 24:17) for years, searching for answers about the coming Messiah. Then, they picked up and traveled for years until they found Him. Have I been seeking God’s answers and will and presence in scripture and prayer this year? I need to seek Him with my everything like the Magi did.
Look what my awesome husband Brad @cassell_brad just made for me! It’s modeled after the Pottery Barn project table. He followed the instructions from a @designedtothenines YouTube video. It’s counter height and has shelves for storage on both sides. What a lucky woman I am! Time to reorganize and rearrange so I can put this baby to work!
