God's Creation

 


When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? Psalm 8:3-4

The heavens declare the glory of God: the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. Psalm 19:1-2

In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat. Psalm 19:5-6

What would happen if the earth did not turn on its axis? We count on it. The sun shining on us is what we expect every day. We know that no man could set up the days and nights to be continuous year after year like God did in the beginning.

John D. Morris writes this about the sun in “Days of Praise” devotion book. “The sun’s energy, radiating out in all directions, not only energizes the earth but the entire solar system as well. Furthermore, it is now known that the sun traverses the galaxy in a gigantic orbit with its energy bathing each part. Truly, ‘there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.’”

Modern science acknowledges what the sun does every day but has no control over it.

Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, thank you for lighting each day for us, for providing energy to grow our crops and gardens, and for being consistent year after year. In Jesus name Amen.
