"From him and through him and to him are all things."
God is the source and origin of our existence. We have no life apart from Him. All things were created by Him. That means that every circumstance that touches your life and mine, including even severe loss and testing, comes into our lives through the filter of His sovereign hand.
He is also the Sustainer.
He is our supreme purpose. He is our goal. He created all things...for Himself and His pleasure.
God is the sovereign Lord and Director of all things. Nothing is beyond His ability to control, to transform, and to use for His glory and your good.
And what is our response?
"To him be glory forever. Amen." Romans 11:36
The appropriate response to the fathomless depths of God's wisdom and ways is to step out of the spotlight and turn the spotlight on Him. It is to say, Amen!-wholeheartedly affirming our agreement with the Word of God. We believe that our bottomless, unsearchable, all-encompassing Lord is the sum and the whole point of everything there is. Therefore, we submit our entires lives to His holy, eternal purposes. Amen.
Let it be so!
