God's Country

All my life I have heard this saying, this is "God's Country". I just returned home from vacation in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. It is very beautiful and you will surely know that there is a God, when you see His marvelous creation, the Smokies. The Supreme Spirit, God, of which there is no equal, created the universe!
Gen.1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Ps. 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
God created man: Gen.1:26-27 Then 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 birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
There is only one God: James 2:19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe--and shudder!
One way to God: 1 Tim.2:5-6 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
God's word is alive: Heb.4:12 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Man can not deny God because of Earthly creation: Romans 1:19-20 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Look around you, can man create a sky, a star, a galaxy of planets, or a living cell to produce life? God is Creator, man is NOT! Heb.11:3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
Lord, forgive man's impertinence! That man envisions himself as Your equal is a very wicked thought. All knowledge is from You God and man is indeed foolish when he thinks he has done anything apart from Your power and Your grace! Father, forgive us our foolish deeds and thoughts. Let us be ever mindful that grace is a gift from You and Your son Jesus. Your Word is a blessing to us! Amen
