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.

  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...

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
