God Is in Every Person, Place, and Thing: Living the Truth of Ephesians 4:6

 

God is in Every Person, Every Place, and Everything

"One God and Father of all, who is above all, through all, and in all."  Ephesians 4:6 (KSB)

"Sunrise over mountains symbolizing God's greatness and presence above all."


   The Apostle Paul makes it clear in Ephesians 4:6 that there is only one God and Father of all, who is above all, in all, and through all. This powerful truth points us toward unity, equality, peace, and oneness. God is the Father of all meaning there is one heritage, one Creator, and one source of life. From the very beginning, God formed humanity from the dust of the earth and breathed into us the breath of life. That same divine breath flows in every human being. We may look, feel, or express ourselves differently, but we all share the same divine heritage. Paul reminds us that God is above all. He is above every title, position, and earthly authority. No government, doctor, lawyer, or judge has the final word Jehovah has the final say. When you realize that God is above all, you can rise above any circumstance. Challenges may come, physical, emotional, mental, financial but God enables us to transcend them. Because He is the highest, we can see life from a higher perspective and walk in greater faith.

   The children of Israel learned this truth deeply: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one.” Surrounded by polytheistic cultures, they held fast to monotheism. Even Job declared, “The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” There is only one God the Highest and He alone has the authority over our lives. When we draw near to Him, we ascend to a higher way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, and living. We honor God not only as the Highest but also as the One who is through all. His Spirit works in and through us, shaping our lives and turning even difficult situations into opportunities for good. Like Joseph declared, what others meant for harm, God can turn for our blessing. All things truly work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

   Finally, Paul declares that God is in all. This means God dwells within every person, every place, and everything. That’s why expressions like “namaste” are so powerful the God in me recognizes the God in you. When we live with this awareness, we can honor the divine presence in every interaction, every relationship, and every part of creation. Truly, God is all there is: omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent.

There is Only One – Four Truths (Ephesians 4:6)

1. Heritage – of all

2. Highest – above all

3. Honor – through all

4. Habitation – in all

📖 Reflection: How do you most often refer to God in your personal walk Father, Mother, Parent, Creator? What does this reveal about your relationship with Him?

💡 Action Step: Take time today to acknowledge God’s presence in the people you meet and the situations you face. Whisper, “God is here,” and walk with peace.

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...
