Acts 20:24 The God who made the world and everything in it , being Lord of heaven and earth , does not live in temples made by man , nor is served by human hands, as though he needed anything , since He Himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth , having determined allotted periods and boundaries of their dwelling place , that the should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way towards Him and find Him . Yet He is actually not far from each one of us, for in Him we live and move and have our being.......
God is infinite and He is ultimate reality. I know that is very difficult for some people to swallow this , it doesn't settle well with their intelligence and affections. They are unhappy that God is God since they want to rule and dictate everything in their lives. Understanding God as creator is crucial and ultimate to the Faith, this is also crucial in understanding the existence and the revelation God. Our faith hangs in the very creative ability of God i.e that everything emanates from God. God is the creator , He made all things. The existence of the universe and everything in it is not because of some cosmic accident that happened billion years ago. Everything Is!because of God. From the far reaches of space to the depths of the oceans God's hand is all over it.
People of the world this is huge ! Its absolutely staggering. God in His infinite wisdom and power purposefully created the world. He made the very details of everything. The composition of the stars is his very invention. He is the great scientific mind behind the hallmark of every living creature i.e the DNA. This very fact implies that God is infinitely big and beyond our wildest ideas. Nothing is new to God , He is never surprised or intimidated . He is altogether and is absolutely intelligent and resourceful.
By virtue of being the creator of the universe , God is the rightful and absolute ruler of this world. Yes He is the rightful ruler of my life and your life. What He says is what should be and it is what is to be followed to the very letter. He is also the ruler of the very details and intricacies of life. For the most of our lives we have been attempting the impossible. One way or the other many of us have cried to "house" and "box" God. We have made and created boundaries for God , saying to Him " this is far you can go" This is absolutely impossible , we want God to be what He is not. We want Him to come on board to our terms and conditions as if we voted Him into power. God is not a democratically elected ruler of this world. He was not interviewed by a panel and found to have the qualifications. We should never be prescriptive and instructive to God , that is absolutely an insult to the God of the universe who is all knowing and in control. God has therefore no obligation to give an account or answer to us of His actions. He is the creator and ruler of the world and He is excellent at that. God is all-wise and does what pleases Him , what pleases God is always the best. He therefore has our best interests at heart as He gives us the best and that is Himself.
God is absolutely resourceful. He provides breath and everything and to the 7 billion people on earth and billions of living creatures. He never runs out , He overflows with resources. He always wants to provide and He overflows with provision. God is not in debt and He doesn't owe any one anything.........................................
