One of the things that strikes me as I listen to the pundits of this world is that “none saith, Where is God my maker?” Sin has ravaged the heart of man and this present world. Deceit, confusion, sorrow, sickness, distress, anxiety and fear abound. Men assert their rights. They demand their entitlements. They defend their self-righteousness by trying to shame all who decry their shameful ways. The wisest among men and all religions of the world start and end with man. “But none saith, Where is God my maker?!” Man’s misery is great. Yet men look to men to solve the problem. Wickedness abounds. Mothers murder their unborn babies. Children do not fear God nor obey their parents. Politicians practice deceit. Man’s own heart deceives him. He is a victim in his own mind. He innately believes and is told by the great deceiver that he deserves better. Injustice is measured by its effects on man. Whoever and whatever promises to alleviate man’s temporal problems is worshipped. Thus, men worship the "saviors" of their own making. “But none saith, Where is God my maker?” The great missing element is the life of God in the soul of man. The great missing purpose of all that we were made to be and do is to the praise and worship of the LORD our Maker (Psa. 95:6). My Maker must be my Redeemer (Isa. 54:5). He must occupy the throne of my heart and the worship of my life (Rom. 12:1-2; John 4:21-24). His person and will and work and word and promises must be the love and desire and confidence and trust and hope of my heart.
May we ever lift our eyes to God our Maker. May we see that He alone has become our Savior. May we worship Him alone. May this passing world appear to us in its true light, that it was brought forth and will be brought to its conclusion by the good will of our holy and great God, our Savior, for the salvation of His people and for His great glory (Matt. 6:9-13; Col. 1:15-18; Heb. 1:2-3, 8-12). He is Christ the Lord, the Son of God. We can only know God the Father in and by Him (John 14:6-9).
