First and foremost Almighty God IS, and evidence of this fact is everywhere and in everything that we see, hear, touch and feel. He is the Creator of everything that we know. Who can compare to Almighty God? Can Buda? Can Mohamed? Can any of the gods of Baal? Can any of the gods of Astarte? Can any idol made of silver or pure gold? No, none can compare! Yet, I have a strong tendency to place other gods ahead of the Almighty. Such as a job or a house or an automobile or my children or my grandchildren. Most would agree with me that many of these things that I mentioned are precious, and they are precious in Almighty God’s sight. The truth remains; Nothing can compare to the importance of Almighty God who created all of these things.
`
Second and just as important to me is that Almighty God created me, and then He drew me near to Himself and gave me the freedom to choose to seek Him or to reject Him. Even before I understood many things about Him He gave me the faith to believe in Him and to accept His gift of grace and eternal life.
Thirdly, on a long list of His blessings, He gave me the opportunity to learn about Him and he gave me an ability to discern knowledge a little bit at a time. He gave me a strong hunger to know and search for absolute truth.
He didn’t make me a perfect creature yet, but that’s coming. He is working on that!
