Absolutely Nothing Obeys God!

I planned to write about something from 2 peter, on false prophets and teachers; a part of that really weird night I had about a week ago. But something else is on my mind.

Absolutely nothing obeys God.

That sounds like heresy. But it's true, if you think about it. Read Genesis 1.

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light....And God said, "Let there be an expanse in the in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." .. and it was so..."

This pattern of creation continues until the end of chapter. God spoke, and it was so.

DOES THIS BLOW ANYONE ELSE'S MIND?!

Absolutely nothing obeys God! He just spoke and it came to be. That is glorious; That is awesome; That is the power of our God, the God who breathed into us our life and existence. And to turn our backs on something so divine is suicide. How dare we suppose we are any great being, having accomplished anything good! All we accomplish is Satan's work!

And the greatest miracle of all? The miracle of redemption! The miracle that God would look at me as perfect. What Just and Righteous God would allow such a creature into heaven? My God, because he is also loving. Loving enough to pay the devil for my soul. Hallelujah.

Nothing obeys God. Absoultely nothing!
