I want this

There is an ad that runs on TV in Canada where a guy walks into an electronics store to buy batteries but ends up wanting everything else so he buys it.  This is a reflection on our consumer society.  The ad ends with the saying, "I want that".

When you say that you want something there are still restrictions.  Is it available?  Can you buy it with your money or credit?  Even the restriction does it exist?

When God says "I want that" He doesn't have to check to see if His credit is good, if it is available or even if it exists.  When He says "I want this" then it exists and it is His.

We often forget that when we say we want something there is the possibility that we may not be able to have it but that never happens with God.  He spoke and the worlds existed.  He didn't have to get the raw materials for He made all things out of Himself.  He is infinite so after He made the universe out of Himself He was not less than He was before.
