Did you know that as God is the Creator of the universe, He is the One Who makes the rules for His creation.
He has given us free will and we as His creation get to choose whether we want to obey or reject His rules. But as with all the choices we make in life, it carries consequences. It is as simple as that.
"Does the pot argue with its maker, does the clay dispute with the one who forms it, saying 'Stop! You are doing it wrong!' or does the pot exclaim 'how clumsy can you be?' Jehovah, the holy one of Israel, Israel's creator says, 'what right have you to question what I do? Who are you to command Me concerning the works of My hands? I have made the earth and created man upon it. With My hands I have stretched out the heavens and commanded the vast myriads of stars. I have raised up Cyrus and I will direct his paths' "
Isaiah 45: 7, 9, 11, 13.
"Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. "
Isaiah 40:28
God is the Creator and King, He created all things with His awesome power and rules over His creation.
Read Genesis chapters one and two for the story of the creation. "In the beginning God Created heavens and the earth."
"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."
Colossians 1:16
What this means for us : God is in control, He calls us to yield control to Him. He understands how life works because He created everything; therefore we can trust Him even when we do not understand. No mortal king nor earthly aspiration should take the place of our love for Him, to whom we owe all of our loyalty. He laid down His life to set us free from the curse of sin and death. Surely this One act alone should give Him all of our allegiance. How can we ever repay Him? We owe Him everything.
"For My hand made all these things, thus all these things came into being," declares the Lord, "but to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My Word."
"You alone are the Lord You have made the heavens, The heaven of heavens, with all their host . The earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them, You give life to all of them and the heavenly host bows down before You."
Nehemiah 9:6
"Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed and were created."
Revelation 4:11
"For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (He is the God Who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited), 'I am the Lord, and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:18
"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; what is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You crown him with glory and majesty. You have made him to rule over the works of Your hands, You put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen and the beasts of the field the birds of the air and the fish in the sea and all things that pass through the paths of the sea."
Psalm 8:3-8
"Thus says the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it."
Isaiah 42:5
"Know that the Lord Himself is God, it is He Who has made us and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture."

"All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being."

"In these last days has spoken to us in his Son, Whom He appointed heir of all things, through Whom also He made the world."
