And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
-Acts 17:26
How great is your love oh Father, that you have adopted a sinner like me as your child! From the beginning you have shown the things that foreshadows your will for mankind. Although, we are not worthy but you accepted us as your very own. Is there any gift that can surpass your grace? Surely, there is none.
Oh Lord! You are worthy of your praise! Your power far exceeded what our mind can perceived. For who can tell the things to come? You alone, oh God! Your ways are infallible, how can we know it? For there is no one who can divide the nations of the world and set their boundaries among them. There is none but you Lord!
Awake, oh you sleepy Christians! Awake and take heed to the voice of the Almighty! Don't you know that the coming of our Savior is nigh? Awake, oh you wearied saints! Awake and give honor to the Most High! Don't you know that he made you dwell in the land of milk and honey?
When you said, you shall be destroyed for your iniquities and it was. When you said, I will gather you again in my name, behold, it came to pass. Then, you said I will make one blood all the nations of men and it was so. Both Jews and Gentiles who believed in your Son Jesus Christ became one. Therefore, we will magnify your name forever for the salvation you have freely given!
When you said, let the waters be gathered together and it was. When you said let their be land, behold it came forth out of void. Then, you said let not the waters go beyond its bounds and it was so. How magnificent is your power, oh God, and there is none before you! Thus, we will magnify your power and glory with godly fear and trembling!
Is there anyone who can tell accurately the future? Or, is there anyone who can ordained the habitation of men before time? Surely there is none but you alone Lord! But with all your glory and excellence, why would the omnipotent God would like us to be his own? Why the Most High God would still look with love to those who continually profaned his Words? Indeed, sinners like us were not even worth saving.
Oh death where is your sting? Oh grave where is your victory (1 Corinthians 15:51)? Surely, there is no greater day like the day when you redeemed us through your only begotten Son, oh Father! A gift that the world cannot give nor a man cannot achieve to save himself. A sweet redemption that made all the nations of men under one blood. The same unblemished blood that was shed by the Lamb of God (Revelation 5:8-13), wherein we are forever be called the "children of God (John 1:12)."
