Nehemiah 9:6
6 “You alone are the Lord.
You have made the heavens,
The heaven of heavens with all their host,
The earth and all that is on it,
The seas and all that is in them.
You give life to all of them
And the heavenly host bows down before You.
God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) alone is the source of creation. In His wisdom, might and love He made the universe and it was glorious. Indeed, He is still creating things, which can be seen in space and on Earth. Scripture shows that He greatly focuses on the earth where He placed people, made in His image. The Lord also made heaven above and all the angels and other heavenly beings.
God has provided everything we need in the environment, and He sustains all of His creation. God made the earth rich and beautiful. I’m sure He wanted us to enjoy it with him, and use its resources responsibly. However, since man turned from God early on, through lack of knowledge or wisdom, or selfish pursuits he has often caused harm to the earth.
God has given us His Word in the Bible for many reasons. One main purpose is to clearly declare who He actually is, the only eternal God and Creator. The Bible also gives some understanding about what has happened and been seen. God describes himself with many names in the Bible, each giving some more insight as to how great, loving and upright He is. His Creation also of necessity had to reflect who He is. It could not be without purpose and order, or small, weak or unattractive.
The Lord is also Saviour to those who will turn back to Him, turning from wrong, learning His ways and living for Him. God knows those who are truly His, and only they can progressively receive accurate revelation about Him and His Creation. They are in union with their Father.
Do you want to really enjoy life, particularly able to appreciate God’s wonderful Creation, family, friends and things you are doing? Come to God with a whole heart, and see what He will do!
