08C.1
What are the things
God alone could provide?
Psalms 4: 6-8 states:
"There are many who pray:
'Give us more blessing, O Lord. Look on us with kindness!'
But the joy that you have given is more than they will ever have with
all their grain and wine. When I lie down, I go to
sleep in peace; you alone, O lord, keep me perfectly
safe." (Today English Version)
Man must come to
realize and understand that the Lord God Almighty is indispensable in
his life. God is not
only the best provider of material blessings but He is the only source of
lasting joy, peace, and perfect safety.
08C.2 How
does the Bible depict the unequalled role of God in our existence?
A great part of it is described in the following
verses of the Bible.
- He is our creator . .
.Isaiah 44:24
:"I am the Lord, your savior; I am
the one who created you. I am the Lord, the Creator of all things. I
alone stretch out the heavens; when I made the earth, no one helped
me." ( TEV)
- He gives us life . .
.Jb:33:4:
The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath
of the Almighty hath given me life. (KJV)
- In him we move and have our beings . .
.Acts:17:28:
For in him we live, and move, and have our
being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also
his offspring. (KJV)
- He saves us from distress . . .
Ps:107:19:
Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble,
and he saveth them out of their distresses. (KJV)
- Riches and Honor come from Him . . .
1Chr:29:12:
Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou
reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in
thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. (KJV)
Man must realize that he was
created and chosen by God for Himself and that God is indispensable in his
life. He needs the Lord in every aspect of his life. He needs the
Lord to live a worthy and fulfilling life.
