God...the Creator

There are times when life is so busy that you miss the beauty of everything that God has created. I think because of this we miss experiencing a part of who God is. When the busyness of life carries us past the blooming wildflowers in the spring, or the dew glistening in the sun as it drips from an evergreen; when we miss these things, we can easily pass by the greatness of the Lord in His care in making and preserving creation.
God created this world in six days. Six Days! Not six millions of years, or six extended periods of time, but six days! God the Almighty spoke and it was there. He said: Let there be light and there was light; He said: Let the dry land appear and it was so. Isn't that just amazing. It shows what a powerful God we have.

Then, knowing that God created everything, we can see the beauty of it all in creation. When we walk through a forest and see the massive thickly trunked trees, we can admire their strength and power, and their majestic height as they overlook the groud around them. When we see new shoots springing up in the garden, we can admire God's handiwork, His care over even a little seed as it grows into a young plant.

When you think about these things, you should be awed at the greatness of God as Creator. He created this world. Think about everything in this world: all the vast varieties of nature which have been given for us to enjoy. God said to Adam in the garden of Eden: Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it, have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth (Gen 1:28).

God has given all that He created to us to appreciate and cultivate. When you understand the love of God even in creating this world, it just leaves you spell bound. If He has taken so much care in clothing the flowers in the field, how much more will He care for those who are His children?
