Sovereign Creator
Be glad; rejoice forever in my creation! ~ Isaiah 65:18 (NLT)
Lord God All-Powerful,
you have done great
and marvelous things.
You are the ruler
of all nations,
and you do what is
right and fair. ~ Revelation 15:3 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
God is the creator who is over all.
PRAYER:
Lord God, you are always creating. You delight in your handiwork and long to share your joy with us.
Thank you for being at work in me. Open my eyes to see your amazing way of working things together for your good.
May I share your delight in others as you delight in me. Amen. (Daily Texts, Mount Carmel Ministries edition)
