GODS

• Psa 902 You have always been God-- long before
  the birth of the mountains, even before you
  created the earth and the world
• Psa 10419 You created the moon to tell us the
  seasons. The sun knows when to set,
• Psa 10426 And there are the ships, as well as
  Leviathan, the monster you created to splash in
  the sea.
• 1Co 86 We have only one God, and he is the
  Father. He created everything, and we live for
  him. Jesus Christ is our only Lord. Everything
  was made by him, and by him life was given to us

When God creates He adds to the total of what is.
He takes from Nothing and makes something
10
The only time that I am aware of were God took
from what he already created and made something
else was when He made man.

Strength, Wisdom, Wealth
EX 152 The LORD is my strength and my song
he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I
will praise him, my father's God, and I will
exalt him.
PR 17 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of
knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and
discipline.
Deut.818 But remember the LORD your God, for it
is he who gives you the ability to produce
wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he
swore to your forefathers, as it is today.
