For Him

For everything was created by Him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things have been created through Him and for Him.
Colossians 1:16 HCSB

We see mankind strut and propose how creation came into being. The why they do not know. However Paul tells us in the scripture above, it was for God's good pleasure. It pleased Him. It pleased to send His Son in whom all of God was manifest. We must look at what pleases God to understand God.

We see in Genesis God created the earth and all that is in it. All the animals, fish and birds. All the smallest creatures were created and He said 'It is good!" God created man and said, "It is good!" The only thing that was not good was that man was alone and so He created woman.

All matter seen and unseen was created by God. He holds all thinhs together. If He no longer is pleased He can remake it, He has done this already. We have seen Him wipe out civilizations, cities and armies, because it was not good and He regretted making them. Our creator is coming again and the earth will eventually be destroyed and a new heaven and new earth will be made.

This is GOD folks. He is in control. Mankind thinks it is master, until death visits. After death comes a reality check, a meeting with the maker. Where will you go? There are only two places in eternity: heaven and hell. One is where God dwells and one is where the haters of God dwell. All that is evil is there. There is no good there, it is void of compassion, justice, mercy or goodness.

Today I must believe my God is in control and that He is good and He loved me enough to send His Son to die for me. He is the gatekeeper, He is the door: the way, the truth and the life. Amen!
