My church has begun a new series in the book of Genesis, focusing on creation. My mind has been consumed with picturing the event of creation. As I read through what God created each day, my mind stretches farther and farther, trying to picture the wonder, the glory of His creation! And then of course there is the whole... God has always been! I mean God didn't even move a finger! He spoke the world into existence! I am making it a goal at least once a week to go outside on my little patio outside of the condo I am staying at and just looking up at the night sky...... consumed with what creation would have looked like. After being consumed with such an amazing event in history.... before history.... how can we ever be anxious about anything in life? How could we ever worry about things working out in our lives. It breaks my heart as well, when I think about the fall of man. Genesis repeats several times... God saw that it was good. Now we find ourselves broken, when we were created to be whole. We find ourselves battling against a nature of evil, when we were created for good. We battle over our nature to hate, when we were created for love. What devastation befalls my soul when I think about what God created us for and yet we choose to live separate as the very one's that He created in the beginning. I challenge anyone that chooses to read this...... open your eyes to see God, as the creator of this world! Breathe in the beauty that was created by only speaking it into existence. I worship a God that I can only imagine a glimpse of because He is so huge! He is the creator of you and me. He chose to redeem us through His only son, so that we might share eternity with Him, in the state that He created us for!
