Romans 11:36
"For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen."
My verse for 2014.
All things are from Him. Everything: good and bad, easy and difficult, minute and life-changing.
All things are through Him. All of my accomplishments. All of my shortcomings. All of my ideas, epiphanies, and dreams. Not a single one of them is mine.
And all things are to Him. Everything that I do, I do to His glory. Everything that I do is an account to His greatness. The summation of every single decision I make in life, good, bad, or just plain stupid, screams His name in the end.
So how do I incorporate this verse into my life in a meaningful way for 2014? I think that it will start with furthering my trust in Him. And chipping away at my pride. It needs it.
God, from you, through you, and to you. Instead of me pretending that my 2014 is mine, help me to recognize and remember the truth that it is fully and completely yours. I am yours.
