the astonishing wisdom and power
of God in creation. Before there was light, there
was God. Before time, space, or matter
existed, the eternal and all-sufficient Lord dwelled in perfect glory. The Bible opens with a thunderous
declaration. In the beginning, God created
the heavens and the earth. No preexistent matter, no raw
materials, no evolutionary process. God brought everything into existence
out of nothing. By the word of the Lord were
the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of His mouth.
For He spoke and it came to be, He commanded and it stood firm. Ponder the omnipotent voice of
God piercing the silence of eternity. Let there be and there was. By the sheer power of His word,
galaxies spun into place. The sun, moon, and stars, the
earth, the seas, and everything within them sprang instantly
into being. Such a reality should leave us
in awe and reverent silence. Consider the wisdom of God in
creation. Nothing was random, haphazard,
or incomplete. God designed every atom, every
law of physics, and every living creature with perfect intelligence.
Every blade of grass, every planetary orbit, every microscopic cell,
all declare the intricate genius of the Almighty. As Scripture
testifies, by wisdom the Lord laid the earth's foundations,
by understanding He set the heavens in place. The structure of a
snowflake, the instincts of migrating birds, and the motion of celestial
bodies. Each bears the unmistakable fingerprints
of divine wisdom. O Lord, how many are your works? In wisdom you made them all.
Now reflect on the power of God in creation. What he purposed,
he instantly brought to pass. He did not toil or struggle,
he simply spoke, and from the void of nothingness, the fullness
of creation appeared. The vast universe with its countless
galaxies and immeasurable distances came forth at His command. As
Jeremiah declares, Ah, sovereign Lord, You have made the heavens
and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing
is too hard for You. These truths should silence all
human pride and boasting. We are not self-made. We are
not the product of chance or accident. We are the deliberate,
handcrafted work of the Almighty God. Everything was declared
very good by the Creator who made all things for His own glory. You are worthy, our Lord and
God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all
things, and by Your will they were created and have their being. Revelation chapter 4 verse 11.
