Glimpses of God
For Thy Pleasure
God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male
and female created he them. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and
female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day
when they were created.
The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice
in thy name. This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people
which shall be created shall praise the Lord.
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of
the earth. Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were
created. That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together,
that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath
created it. Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched
them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he
giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein.
But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee,
O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name;
thou art mine. Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him
for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness:
let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness
spring up together; I the Lord have created it. I have made the earth, and
created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all
their host have I commanded.
For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the
earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed
it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God
hath before ordained that we should walk in them. And to make all men see what
is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath
been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: And that ye put on the
new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. For by
him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible
and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or
powers: all things were created by him, and for him.
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast
created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
