Revelation 4: 11
You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and they exist because You created what You pleased.
God is Creator. He spoke everything that is into existence. It's like we're His imagination, and if He wasn't thinking about us, we wouldn't exist. That's why He is our Lawgiver, the One Who determines how everything is to work, and work together. Our God is Love, so He decided to base all workings on Order, the expression of His Love. He put Order into the Chaos, which placed His Beauty into everything He made.
God is good, and all His ways are good for us, and help us get along and find happiness in the happenings that result from doing things His way. And He also gives us His joy, which goes far deeper than happiness, and is our strength when we face trials. This World is our classroom, as we are children in school here. All the trials we face are the tests our Teacher gives us, as we learn.
But sin is the monkey-wrench that has been thrown into the works, so we need to watch out for all the twistings and misapplication of His ways, which are our "natural" way of thinking, because we are born defective by our nature that we inherited from our first human father, Adam. That's why we are admonished repeatedly to "be careful" to notice the difference God's ways make from our own ways. On our own, we would never be able to come up with the "right" ways, that's why God gave us His Word to study and understand.
When we do understand, then we can do things His way: we will love Him and always put Him first, and we will love one another, never doing or saying or even thinking any harm to anyone else. This is the basis and foundation of all of His Law.
And all of Natural Law is in obedience to His Love. True Science is the searching for God's beauty and order in His Creation, and will always support the Truth of His Word He has given us.
All this is why He really does deserve all the credit and fame for everything.
O my Father, my Lord, my Sovereign King, You alone are worthy of all honor, all credit for everything that is done, all authority to do whatever You please with all that You have created, for You made it all for Your own pleasure. And when You smile, all goes well with us.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
