Elohim

Psalm 100:3
 
3Know that the Lord, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
 
God is Elohim, the Creator. You and I are God's creation. Psalm 139:14 says "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are your works and that my soul knows very well." You couldn't have created you even if you tried. How would you have known which traits to take from which parent? How would have crafted your personality and mannerisms? There's no way you could create the perfect you the way God did. Yes, you are wonderful because He created you! God is also Jehovah Rohi, the God our Shepherd. It is His pleasure to guide you and provide for you as a shepherd does his sheep. You and I are sheep in God's earth metaphorically. How many times have you attempted to go your own way? Did not Jehovah Rohi steer you back into the correct direction through the Holy Spirit and even His divine intervention? His actions are what a shepherd would do with his guiding rod. There is someone looking after you, watching you while you graze, while sleep, while you eat and as you move along. Does He not deserve praise even for these things? What about thanking Him for the many things you take for granted? He deserves more but a heart full of praise and thanksgiving is an awesome start!
