God Did Not Create Another God
Something few of us actually consider about the truth of Christ …
Would you take a moment and consider something?
When God created man, He didn’t create another God.
You might think that’s nothing new, but it is a very, very important truth – one that is rarely unpacked when discussing issues of sin and suffering.
There are people who wonder why God, if He exists and is so powerful and wise, created a free agent who could sin (break God’s law).
Others question why Scripture would suggest that Jesus was slain before the foundations of the world (1 Peter 1:19-20).
The answer to these questions and many more is that God did not create another God, only man.

VerseD: Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34, NIV
Life throws many problems at us, and it can be difficult not worrying.
The key is focusing on Christ. It is not easy, but worrying only makes things worse (at least in our minds.)
VerseD: Proverbs 27:5-6
Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
Proverbs 27:5-6 ESV
It hurts more finding out others did not want to hurt your feelings rather than spare you difficulty and pain by correcting you.
Nip sin in the bud. Confront it in love, with gentleness, and sooner rather than later.
It hurts less than consequences.
VerseD: Isaiah 40:29
He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.
Isaiah 40:29, ESV
God sustains and strengthens us. Without God … well … we would not even be!
Trust your Creator and lean on His strength.
VerseD: Psalm 18:30
This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
Psalm 18:30, ESV
Scripture continues to be proven true, whether through fulfilled prophecy, archaeology, or by living it out.
Live out God’s Word, and your soul shall find refuge.
VerseD: John 7:38
“Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'”
John 7:38, ESV
The natural result of salvation is the outpouring of God’s love, compassion, and grace through you via the Holy Spirit of Christ.
VerseD: Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26, ESV
We get sick.
We die.
But God never does, and He never changes. Faith in the Son is what redeems us to become like Him.
VerseD: Colossians 3:2
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
Colossians 3:2, ESV
It is impossible to rightly serve God if we are not focused on Him. Loving others will fall apart if we are not rightly loving Him, even if we are trying to help others but stay focused solely on physical needs and worldly issues.
VerseD: Ephesians 6:10
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Ephesians 6:10, ESV
Paul said “finally” here, but he meant all the time, not as an afterthought.
Continually seek and rely on God in every moment.

Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
