Bible reference (OldTestament) ~ Psalm 33:6-9

James 4:

Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.

I’m glad that God of all creation, who simply speaks all things into existence, also loves me greatly and truly wants to build a strong relationship with me.

Psalm 33:

The Lord merely spoke,
and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born.
7 He assigned the sea its boundaries
and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.
8 Let the whole world fear the Lord,
and let everyone stand in awe of him.
9 For when he spoke, the world began!
It appeared at his command.
