“You are the Lord, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you.
Nehemiah 9:6 ESV
The sun rises and sets, day follows night, the seasons mark their course, and the years roll by. The stars and the planets track their patterns across the sky. Tides come in and out like clockwork, and the moon waxes and wanes before our eyes.
The insignificant seed pushes forth from the earth and becomes a stately oak that stands for centuries. Egg becomes caterpillar, caterpillar becomes a butterfly, the butterfly lays an egg, and the cycle perpetuates. One day we are children in the arms of our grandparents, and in the blink of an eye we are holding our own grandchildren and praying that they will know blessings and a long life.
God’s creation is astounding, and many devote their lives to the study of it, yet can only scratch the surface. Doctors, zoologists, oceanographers, astrophysicists… the list is long and serves as a testament to the unfathomable mind and power Who is the author of this vast creation. God is in science, art, music, beauty, inspiration, and so much more. Try as we might to fully understand, we can only look to creation to get an idea of His thoughts and His ways that are so far beyond the grasp of our understanding (Isaiah 55:8).
All creation worships and praises God (Psalm 66:4). All creation longs for the return of Jesus (Romans 8:22). And while we are part of that creation, we hold the special blessing to be called sons of God through Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:5).
The beauty, grandeur, and complexity of creation serve as our daily reminder of God‘s power and His promises. It points our hearts to Him, lest we in our arrogance think of ourselves as any more than temporary stewards. All creation does His bidding, and will stand until the day He determines that it will be no more. His works remind us of our place in the eternal order of things, and the assurance that the day will come when we, united with all creation, will praise God in eternity:
And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
Revelation 5:13 ESV

This may not be the response you where looking for however it’s my heart’s response: “Glory be to the Lord God Almighty who made the Heavens and Earth and that He is mindful of men.” He loved us so much He cut covenant with Himself and sent His Son (His Word which was made flesh and dwell among men) Jesus to be the atonement for all man’s sin so that we who would believe in His Word (Jesus) and would receive the Spirit of Life that sets us free from the spirit of death. His Word which also sets us free from all the powers the spirit darkness has over us as mere men. For as believers or Sons Daughter of God we have not been given a Spirit of fear but one of Power and Love and a Sound Mind. So that we would cry Abba Father; So that we would look up to the Heaven’s from hence our help comes; So we could Love one another as He has Loved us and gave Himself for us; So that by His Love which dwells with
in us our Faith grows Great full of Grace and Truth. We who believe are Blessed, Highly Favored, and Deeply Loved by God Almighty even in the misty of the darkness that surrounds us daily because He has seated us in heavenly places far above our enemies because the Kingdom of Heaven is not meat nor drink but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. We are in this world but not of it. We are hidden in God in Christ. For am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live yet not I but Christ lives in me and the life which I now live I live by the Faith of the Son of God who love and gave Himself for me. My prayer is that all men would acknowledge their fallen state due to the fact that Adam’s and Eve’s choice to partake of the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil and try to become like God. (Which is the spirit so prevalent in the world today men wanting to be a god or better then the next person they have no need for their creator) that they would humble themselves pray and seek to know God the Father their creator and repent of their evil ways and bad behaviors and surrender their hearts and minds to cry out to Him and become like children before Him who need their Dad. I know He would hear their cry He has given His Word.
And the Spirit and the Bride say Come!
Wonderful posting, reminds be of the old hymn “How Great Thou Art “ !
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR CHRISTIANITY WITH ALL PEOPLE WHO WILL TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT AND BELIEVE IT. YOUR LIFE IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT THE LORD TAKING CHARGE IF YOU WILL JUST LET GO AND LET GOD BE IN CONTROL. YOU DON’T SEE PROFESSIONS OF FAITH ENOUGH ANYMORE. THANKS AGAIN.
God has a purpose to send this message to us through his disciple who has been committed his life to spreading message of hope around the world. Thank you Christ for being kind and keep continuing inspiring people to understand Christ.
