Psalm 135:3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; celebrate his wonderful name with music.5 I know the greatness of the LORD-- that our Lord is greater than any other god. 6 The LORD does whatever pleases him throughout all heaven and earth, and on the seas and in their depths 7 He causes the clouds to rise over the earth. He sends the lightning with the rain and releases the wind from his storehouses. Sensational! What an incredible God I have. “Why, even the highest heavens cannot contain you (God).” (1 Kings 8:27) The universe known and unknown is a tiny puddle of spill over from the glorious infinitude of the Majestic God. John 1:1-3 gives an extraordinary glimpse into the creative work of God. “In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was face to face with God in perfect pleasurable intimacy. And the Word was very God. He, the Word, was before the beginning in perfect relationship with God. The beginning was of creation, not the word. And all things that came into being (not the Word-for He never came into being, but always existed) came into being by the Word-Jesus! And there is nothing that ever came into being that did not have its beginning in Him the Word.”- What a picture. God the Father in perfect harmony, beautiful intimacy, with His Son, the Word. And the overflowing effect was creation. The creation speaks in finite (although we would think it is infinite in our finite brains) terms of the glory of God. But it screams and shouts of God’s glory and beauty and wisdom and power and majesty. “The Heavens are shouting with all their being of the Beautiful Glory of God. The Skies proclaim the awesome work of God’s hands” (Ps 19:1). The amazing thing is that the creation speaks all languages so that there is no one on this puny planet who has not heard or seen or smelled, or tasted, or touched some creative communicator of God’s glory. Creation is all about God! The creation has its original and final purpose in pointing to the Beauty of God. This means that there is not one thing, not one word, not one meal, not one drink, not one deed, not one object, there is nothing, that is not meant to draw our attention to the Creator of this vast (vast to us- Tiny to Him) universe. This means that we are meant to spend our lives glorifying (show as most glorious) God the Creator by delighting in Him as the most enjoyable being. 1 Corinthians 10:31 says that “whether you are eating or drinking, really, whatever you do-do all for the glory of God!” This is to be our life. Have you ever noticed how much the godly writers of the bible use creation to speak of God? In the Acts the preachers often pointed people to the Christ by pointing to Him as Creator…. 14: 15 and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of the same nature as you, and preach the gospel to you in order that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them. 17: 24 "The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 neither is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all life and breath and all things; 26 and He made from one, every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times, and the boundaries of their habitation, 27 that they should seek God… Other authors use creation to point us to Christ and living for Him: Isaiah, James, Jude and many more. Creation exist to declare the glory of God! We exist to declare and enjoy that glory! Everyday of our life, every moment, it should be our joyous work to see God in all of Life and to point others to Him. This is what we do with Genesis 1! Next time it's a clear sky at night, go out and look to the starry sky and sing praises to God or talk to Him and about HIm to others. Next time you are nailing a board at work, deliverying a baby at the hospital, eating a meal, playing golf, fishing= look around and see the work of the fingers of God, and remember that the work points to the fingers and the fingers point to the face of God-JESUS CHRIST!
