He is Worthy (Daily Refresh, 7-26)

We have a powerful Creator, but it’s easy to forget how magnificent He is. We live in a world filled with His miracles, but it’s common to become desensitized to the wonder of it all.

God created something from nothing—speaking life, meaning, and purpose into existence. He’s the author of everything. He is worthy of our worship.

Whales roam the seas, bears scavenge the mountaintops, fireflies light up the countryside. People explore the world, build skyscrapers, cook meals, develop languages, and form complex relationships—with God and with each other.

“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.”
Revelation 4:11 NIV

“All things,” as the verse says, includes everything we can see and even the things we can’t—both the visible and invisible. “All things” also includes you. 

You were intentionally and uniquely designed by God. You were put on this planet on purpose, at this specific time in history. You have been empowered to shine and share His love, in a distinct and special way that’s completely unique to you.

So take a moment to recognize… God made you and He loves you. He is worthy of your praise.

My Thoughts

I sit in my recliner each morning for my devotions and as I look out the window next to me, I can see some of the wonderful things that God has created for us to enjoy. The roses and other flowers, the hummingbirds, the goldfinches, the sky, the trees, even the annoying little squirrels. Then, I look around the room where I am sitting. There are digital frames that show me pictures of loved ones, the ones I cherish and want to see more frequently. I am so thankful for each of them. I look around more and see gifts from those loved ones. A photograph of my son’s hand on a chess board. A wooden craft our granddaughter painted for me. All made by their ability to create and imagine, an ability that God gave to each of us. As I type this post, I am grateful for each of you and the positive words and encouragement you speak into my life. God created each of us for a purpose. I am here in 2026 and that was part of God’s plan for me. I am thankful for each moment, each day, each hour I have to spend time with those I love and doing the things that God made for me to enjoy. Let us always remember that He is worthy and He who is worthy loves us.
