The MAGNIFICENCE of GOD

 

Do we really know how magnificent God is?

Scripture tells us what we need to know.

7 He stretcheth out the north 

over the empty place, 

and hangeth the earth 

upon nothing.

8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; 

and the cloud is not rent under them.

9 He holdeth back the face 

of his throne, 

and spreadeth his cloud 

upon it.

10 He hath compassed the waters 

with bounds, 

until the day and night 

come to an end.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble 

and are astonished 

at his reproof.

12 He divideth the sea with his power, 

and by his understanding 

he smiteth through the proud.

13 By his spirit he hath garnished 

the heavens; 

his hand hath formed 

the crooked serpent.

14 Lo, these are 

parts of his ways: 

but how little a portion 

is heard of him? 

but the thunder of his power 

who can understand?

Job 26:7-14 

King James Version

3 Great is the LORD, 

and greatly to be praised; 

and his greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation shall praise thy works to another, 

and shall declare thy mighty acts.

5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, 

and of thy wondrous works.

Psalm 145:3-5 

King James Version

12 He hath made the earth 

by his power, 

he hath established the world 

by his wisdom, 

and hath stretched out the heavens 

by his discretion.

13 When he uttereth his voice, 

there is a multitude of waters 

in the heavens, 

and he causeth the vapours to ascend 

from the ends of the earth; 

he maketh lightnings with rain, 

and bringeth forth the wind 

out of his treasures.

Jeremiah 10:12-13 

King James Version

4 He telleth the number of the stars; 

he calleth them all by their names.

5 Great is our Lord, 

and of great power: 

his understanding is infinite.

Psalm 147:4-5 

King James Version

13 Let every soul be subject 

unto the higher powers. 

For there is no power but of God: 

the powers that be 

are ordained of God.

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, 

resisteth the ordinance of God: 

and they that resist 

shall receive to themselves damnation.

Romans 13:1-2 

King James Version

How Did God Create Man?

 

Do you wish to know how God created man?

And eventually, woman?

Let Scripture tell you in exact terms.

26 And God said, 

Let us make man in our image, 

after our likeness: 

and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, 

and over the cattle, 

and over all the earth, 

and over every creeping thing that creepeth 

upon the earth.

Genesis 1:26 

King James Version

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.

Genesis 1:27 

King James Version

7 And the Lord God formed man 

of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils 

the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul.

Genesis 2:7 

King James Version

18 And the Lord God said, 

It is not good that the man should be alone; 

I will make him an help meet for him.

Genesis 2:18 

King James Version

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep 

to fall upon Adam, 

and he slept: 

and he took one of his ribs, 

and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, 

which the Lord God had taken from man, 

made he a woman, 

and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, 

This is now bone of my bones, 

and flesh of my flesh: 

she shall be called Woman, 

because she was taken out of Man.

Genesis 2:21-23 

King James Version 

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, 

till thou return unto the ground; 

for out of it wast thou taken: 

for dust thou art, 

and unto dust shalt thou return.

Genesis 3:19 

King James Version 

13 For thou hast possessed my reins: 

thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

14 I will praise thee; 

for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: 

marvellous are thy works; 

and that my soul knoweth right well.

15 My substance was not hid from thee, 

when I was made in secret, 

and curiously wrought in the lowest parts 

of the earth.

Psalm 139:13-15 

King James Version
