Our Place in God’s Creation

 

The Earth and all that lies within it are God’s. He sustains it, and cares for it; Our maker owns every particle of its being

For by His awesome power, God created the universe, and our World. Through His wisdom, He made them incredible, intricate, beautiful

And because of God’s love, He formed life on this planet

What a wonder is life. The dust from remnants of past stars; the material of the earth and sea, animated, to live and breath

We know of no other place where this has happened, in the entire universe

Life is precious. It is a gift of God. Because, life was made by His choice and given to the living, so that we may share in the benefit of honoring who He is

May all the Earth worship His name

God placed man above everything that He created on Earth. He assigned us stewardship over this precious creation, so that we would fill the earth. But also, so that we could care for His world as He would like, with love, kindness, respect; through justice and obedience unto Him

So that in all that we do, we endeavor that His earth remains good

Lord, you have made us a little less than the angels. You have given us this amazing home. You have blessed us with everything that we need to live and we have thrived upon this earth

When we have done selfish things and forgotten our God, you have offered us forgiveness of our sins, and offered us a way to escape our guilt and condemnation.

Even offering us Your Son, Jesus Christ, so that we might have hope and to live life in all richness and joy. So that we might have everlasting life through His sacrifice. We can live in Your creation, forever

How great are the gifts of our God?

We live here today on this Earth, our home. We look out at the beauty that God has made, and the ugliness we have brought upon the land and on His people, by the destructive ways of our sin

Oh, that we could all see our God this day and know the love in His heart for us. So that we might turn to Him and honor His goodness and power

That we might rightly see the path that lies before us. A way that leads to life, and not to destruction

The presence of God fills the entire universe. He is not far from you now

Seek Him with all your heart and effort and He will reveal Himself to you. He will show you the wonders of His being     1/21/2020

Our Incredible God

Tenaya Canyon, Yosemite Park

Our God dwells above all the heavens and Earth. He stretches His hands and they reach beyond the universe; From one side to another

His presence fills every part of this marvelous creation, so that there is no place that He does not know

How awesome is our God, who was before time, and gave birth to this creation. Who thought of it long before it came to be

He has known each moment in history, so that nothing that has happened has ever escaped His eyes

God knows where every string of time is destined. He is as familiar with the future as He is of the past

How blind we are to the ways of God, and limited in our senses, of His glory and power. We see upwards and out, and strive to make sense of it all

But God fills every dimension, He holds them all in the palm of His hand

Glorious father in heaven, we seek You. Because You placed it in our hearts to do so. We are in awe of all Your wonderful works, and of the love You have for us

Our God dwells in unapproachable light, He is a consuming fire. The most solid things in nature, vaporize in His presence. Nothing can stand before Him

He shields Himself with darkness, yet His light shines forth and illuminates all there is

Everything God has done in creation is good, because it all originated from His perfect design. A plan that is still unfolding before us

We strain our minds to make sense of what we see and feel, so that we might understand the answer to our deepest questions.

The answers rest in God

Awesome God, King over all creation, we seek You, because You fill our needful hearts. Come and reveal to us Your glorious Word, so that we might begin to know the truth that will set us free

The God of infinite wisdom once set aside His glory and power, and came to this earth as a man, Jesus Christ

He walked amongst us, our mighty creator, holy and true, yet gentle, filled with a great love and compassion for us

In histories darkest moment, we put to death the author of life. Yet, it pleased our God to suffer and die for us, for our sins had overtaken us, and death ruled over our lives

When He died and was raise to life again, He removed death’s power, and made a safe pathway for us to follow after Him; So that we could have eternal life and dwell with Him, forever

Our God is truly awesome, yet filled with great love for us   2/2/2006
