At God's command

Hebrews 11:3
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

This fact hit me yesterday as the US national comdr shared. At the very of "be' the universe was created, formed and fashioned. However up to today, the universe continues to expand outwards as NASA scientist have discovered.

The very fact is, at God's word of creation, the power of His very word is limitless. It's not a one time, limited statement, but the very essence of power in His command that our limited mind can never fathom.

How is it that we who are made to worship Him can swing in our emotions and constantly waver in our faith when God has time and again given us clear commands to obey. By grace, we are not stuck down by God's might when He gives commands for our lives. However, we must come to a point of obedience to do what God would expect of us, not what we desire or stubbornly hold onto.

As the very word of God, the heavens and the earth were created. Why then do we struggle to obey the word of God that we read or hear. Just as the universe is still being formed by God's rema power, we who have ears need to also hear and be transformed. For it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."
