God Created You

Gen. 1:26-31

It was hinted in yesterday’s devotional that God created you. You are not a product of any spoken word other than the initial invitation to the Trinity to form man. The king of God’s creations, creative efforts were made on you; you were made after the image and likeness of God and given dominion to reign and rule. That is who you are! Gen. 2:7 reveals that “Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground, and He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul”. Remember that earlier, it has been shown that “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him. He created them male and female” (Gen. 1:27). Thus, whether male or female, we all possess and carry within us the breath of God, the Divine. This underscores the sacredness of life. You are not your own; you belong to God! God says “Behold, all souls are Mine. The soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul who sins shall die” (Ezek. 18:4) God created man to inhabit the earth. “For in Him we live and move and have our being…we are also His offspring” (Acts 17:28) You are His!

POINT OF EMPHASIS: God created you and you belong to Him, not to yourself!

PRAYER POINT: God, I recognize You as my Creator. Help me to remain Yours in my

                              entire life.
