God of Creation


"His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So that they are without excuse."  Romans: 1:20

     God's signature is written upon everything that He has created.  Look to the sky.  The stars, the moon, the planets, the infinite nature of space itself down to the simple yet ingenious system of the water cycle: evaporation - condensation - precipitation - collection.  Thousands upon thousands of gallons of heavy water is transported across miles of land to water crops and grass and trees and animals, caring for God's creation.  If the contents of one rain cloud were released all at once it might crush its recipients below, but instead it is gently released in the form of rain drops and is allowed to saturate the ground below usually without harming even the most delicate flower. (Acts 14:15-17)
     Now look to the ground.  Down to the ant and it's tightly organized society, up to the beauty and intricate nature of even something as common as grass, not to mention all the varieties of plants and trees and flowers.  Then to the depths of the oceans and all its marvelous creatures.  And lastly to the human body itself, God's crown jewel of creation, with all of its complexities.
     So corrupted is man's sanity by sin that the more his wisdom in these matters is increased, the more of God's glory is seen, the more man's denial of His existence.
     We have telescopes in space that can see further than we have ever been able to before, sending back gorgeous photographs screaming to man the name of their Creator. (Psalm 19:1-6)  The deeper we go into the oceans, the more the creative mind of God is displayed, and though we can now explore the depths of man down to the very DNA of which he is constructed and the intricacy of life never more manifested, man continues to deny their Creator.  This could only be the result of a fallen mind, so corrupted by sin, that unless this same gracious Creator God intervenes, we would never be able to see His glory.
     Open your eyes!  See the handiwork of your God!  Acknowledge Him!  Bow to Him!  And He will show more of Himself to you than you have ever known.  He has sent His Son Jesus Christ to become a sacrifice on your behalf that you might escape the wrath of a Holy God for the very sin that clouds your eyes. 
      Open your eyes!  See your sin and your need for salvation from that sin and repent and put your trust in the One who has died for your sins.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."  John 3:16
