Listening to our Maker

1 Kings 2; 1 Chronicles 29; Psalms 95; 2 Thessalonians 1 

“For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods…the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it… Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah…”

Psalm 95:3-8

The wonders of creation point us to the Creator. More than that, we are invited to worship and willingly bow before our Maker. Recognizing the provision of God in creation reminds us that we, too, are under his care. Like a good shepherd, God invites us to know and follow him. Our Maker makes us to lie down in green pastures and speaks to us. We can ignore or resist his voice, quarreling with God and others. Or we can enter his rest, surrender our will, and learn to quietly listen and obey. To learn God’s ways, we must listen to his Word and obey.

What is our Maker and Shepherd saying to us today?

“Lord God, I will continue to walk by faith and not by sight, for your glory.”
