Everything we have has God at its origin. Nothing exists that God did not create. When we begin to grasp this concept, we realize we have a lot to thank God for each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is Us\u201d<\/a> is a favorite show of mine. In a recent episode, the writer\u2019s highlighted Nasir Ahmed<\/a>, who developed Discrete Cosine Transform<\/a> with his team in the 1970s. Their work is used today in image and video sharing technology. Ahmed\u2019s team is what has kept us connected during the pandemic 50 years later. God created Ahmed, giving him gifts that would keep on producing for decades to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n God creates out of love. Our God-given gifts cause us to invent. All things start with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Lord, thank You for Your creation. Everything in existence came from You. Forgive us for taking credit for Your work. Without Your breath in our bodies, we couldn\u2019t do anything. Today, let us take time to appreciate the air You created. As we inhale deeply, remind us of Your goodness as we fill our lungs. As we hold our breath for a moment, do Your work within us. Then, let us exhale all of the negativity from within us, knowing, You are working. As we embrace Your sovereignty, let us become creators like You. IJNIP.
