In the beginning God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth - Genesis 1:1.
The first name of God that is listed in the Bible is Elohim which is translated God. The name of God Elohim means the All-Powerful Creator. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made - John 1:3. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands - Psalm 19:1,2. He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down - Psalm 104:19. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them - Genesis 1:27.
Abraham believed that Elohim, the All-Powerful Creator was able to create and bring life for him and Sarah out of the barrenness. He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed - the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised - Romans 4:17, 20-21. Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you - Jeremiah 32:17.
Let us thank our God, the All Powerful Creator, Elohim. God’s creative power which was at work in Abraham’s life will work in your life also. For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together - Colossians 1:16-17. As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things - Ecclesiastes 11:5.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are Elohim, the All Powerful Creator. We thank You for Your beautiful creation. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
