2. The Creator's Creation

 Dear Friends,

Praise The Lord!

We know that God Jehovah, The God of gods, made all creation, but when we meditate on those things are from the scriptures, There is unspeakable joy in us and a firm faith in Him and in His works.

Let me share with you some of the things I learned through the study of the Scriptures.

Why did God do all this creation? How and When did happen?  We have many questions like this. But, as far as we need to know are embedded in the scriptures. If we think more than that, is beyond our knowledge. So let us meditate on what has been revealed to us.

According to the scriptures, 'Job' says that God first spread the sky where everything was empty.  'Isaiah' also spoke that God created the heavens and stretches them out. Then God brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

Later, in the book of Job, God Himself explained that He made the earth very special. Set up a special event and the morning stars sing together and all the angels rejoice and triumph, laid its cornerstone. God, the Creator of the heavens, prepared and stabilized the earth. 

Do you know how special God made the earth, that He did not make it to be formless, but that it was built to be inhabited.  Then on earth, He set up everything He intended and then made us humans in His likeness. God blessed us and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

And entrusting all of this creation to us, what God is doing now? 
Is He Silent?  And can we be the way we want to be? The Answer is NO.  Hebrew 4:13 says : Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. He is not silent but says, Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.” 

God made such a beautiful creation for us, but what is His purpose on us? What should we do?
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do and to be made new in the attitude of our minds and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

When we were stuck in such tough days, when hardships were torn with tears, when diseases would surrounding us, does God care about us?

This creation was made by God with great love. We are His people. Why does he leave us? When we are drowning in sin,  If He don't care, why does he send His beloved Son to shed blood for our sins?

The Lord foretold to his children what would happen after these tribulations. you know what? Isaiah 65:17 says See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind". What a great promise my friends!!

Then, John says he saw this happen. Let us read what is that!  Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”  Revelation 5:13.

It means that we will soon be freed from these bad days and worship God the Father and His Son together with all creation. This creation is  belongs to our Father and we are His people, we are not abandoned. why will He forsake us?

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.


Historical Evidences:

Existence of Earth:

Natural world, and the existence of humanity in the universe, all reminds us the Divine Creator who brought them into existence. To the best of our knowledge, the earth exists with many conditions that allow our existence and make it incomparable to any other world.

We live in a particularly privileged place.(Image:The Earth at night from the International Space Station) We live on a planet that has all the materials needed for life, including:
  • We are at the right distance from our sun so that the temperatures are favorable for life.
  • Liquid is the optimal atmospheric pressure for   liquid water at our surface.
  • We have the right materials - the right balance of heavy elements and organic molecules - for life to arise.
  • Our world has the right water for us to have both oceans and continents.
If you look at the other worlds we know, the difference is amazing.

Design in the Human Body:

The nervous system: Particularly BRAIN. Its complexity, which is not at all possible for man to produce, is a miracle by our wonder working GOD.

Design in Human Embryonic Development:

Another wonderful reflection of creation is the astonishing process of fetal development, including the way man develops in his mother's womb.


My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalms 139:15-16.

Moreover, the birds, the flowers, the hills, the valleys that we see every day and many more that we do not see would show the love of our God and His greatness.

Look at these flowers showing our Creator skill and his heart.

Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.  “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:27-32

Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
    is heard in our land. 
Song of Songs 2:12
Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Luke 12:22.

Did God say that we are better than these? And if those little birds were looking for the Creator, shouldn't we be looking for Him even more?

We know & rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, & God in him. ~ 1John 4:16
If this creation is following His Heart, should we not change into His likeness even more?
 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. Like a lily among   thorns is my darling among the young women. Song of Songs    2:1-2.

 If all the flowers were on that tree that seemed to have   withered, if we think, We lost,we got tired, we thought we   were gone, but God's creation shows that many blessings are   hidden for us.

Behind this marvelous creation we can see the perfect hand of our Almighty God.  Every creature of this universe will sing....
Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy at the work of your hands
Forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have
In YOU

    All Glory to God.

Now it's your turn. Meditate on the Scriptures and share with me what God has revealed to you.

Blessed be the name of the Lord!

Why Did It Happen?

Dear Friends, May the Spirit of the Father who raised Christ our Lord from the dead be with us! Amen!   I always wondered why did it happen?...
