Today I take time to look at creation, to be open to hear a Word that was spoken.
Not by men and their gathered thoughts, but by God sprinkled throughout His 66 Books.
Faith is the key, I must confess. We need faith to receive what the Bible does tell. But it takes faith in the wisdom of man to believe every word the public arena does sell.
We hear the world’s message loud and clear, but for the children’s sake, should we stop, and at least, take some time to hear?
What does the Bible say? Do we know? Will we be as a Berean back in ancient days? It is told they had open minds, to listen eagerly, and to search for answers day . . . after. . . day. (1)
Let’s open the Book and view the wonder of God’s love on display:
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:3.
This living Book, The Bible was written for you and me, and for ever it will be. (2)
God understands the difficulty to trust and believe. He gives His Word and waits as we receive:
“But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
or the birds in the sky, and they will tell . . . ;
or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish in the sea inform . . .
Which of all these does not know
that the hand of the Lord has done this?
In his hand is the life of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.” Job 12:7-10.
Oh, would it not be amazing to stop and ask our animal friends.
God is gentle, kind, patient, and true. His glorious creation is His daily gift to human-kind, the whole earth through.
You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased, Revelation 4:11, this is the Master Artist’s creation.
Psalm 95:4-5,In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
God’s Word is Living. Ask Him. He gives grace to understand!
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1. How vast is His expanse. How grand is His Hand. He deserves praise each day for the warmth of the sun.
God loves. He speaks each day through His creation.
How many are your works, Lord!
In wisdom you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures, Psalm 104:24.
Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth, John 17:17.
Is the Word not powerful and glorious? Ask God to reveal Himself and give you understanding!
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse, Romans 1:20.
These are seven Scriptures that gently speak of God the Creator of everything. Are we curious and hungry for more? The Bible has answers for more, and plenty!
Take time to follow God in His Word. He will give you peace. He is the LORD.
(1) And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth, Acts 17:11.
(2) Your word, LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens, Psalm 119:89.
