The very first verse in the Bible sets the stage for the rest of the story. “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) This verse is so packed with thoughts and implications that set up the rest of the story that we know as the Bible. This verse is very clear that the act of creation was an intentional act performed by God. This verse also shows that God always existed and was before creation. That thought alone is hard for our finite minds to really think through. How could something always be? Each of us had a beginning point and it is marvelous to think on the fact that God has always existed. Creation is a wonderful thing to think about as we think about the Creator God. Creation is all around us every day. From new grass or flowers that just seem to pop up in the spring to the constant baby births that many seem to take for granted. God is a Creator God and that alone should give us reason to give Him thanks. The passages below are not an exhaustive display of the Scripture passages that show God as Creator but these passages are some favorites of mine and I hope you prayerfully meditate on these texts today.
Hebrews 11:3 “By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.“

This morning as I write this article I look outside my window and again enjoy creation. Even in the dead of winter and with temperatures around 20 degrees, it is marvelous to see the flowers that remained on some of the bushes around the church. And the evergreen trees that line our property have remained a beautiful green and glisten in the morning sun. Amazing! Today I pray that you too will be encouraged to worship the one and only true Creator God. Enjoy Him and His beautiful creation. Soak in every moment and draw close to God today.
