Colossians 1:16. "For by him were all things created that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:"

At that time, they did not realize His universal supremacy. About all they knew was that they were blessed with God's clemency. Probably they understood some of Christ's moral authority, But had not conceived in their minds the fullness of deity.

I can open my eyes and see high mountains and deep seas. And learn that my personal Savior made every one of these. When I look at a new-born baby, I see miniature body parts, And know that invisible to the eye, God created them at the start.
There are nations that men claimed to have established on their own. Some may acknowledge God in this, but most don't recognize a higher throne. Even the inner urge to press out and do something new; Is an act of the Supreme Creator who put that urge in you.

"Almighty God, the Creator of all things and the Supreme One in all the universe: I bow in reverence this morning to acknowledge Thee and Thy greatness and to give Thee praise and honor. I also want to give Thee my grateful thanks for forever bringing me into Thy family and making me a child of Thine. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
