Wednesday Thought -- August 29, 2012


Good Morning Friends,

“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!  You have set your glory above the heavens.  From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.  When I consider the 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 8:1-4)

The creation is amazing, isn’t it!

Have you considered the vastness of the heavens?  Even with as much knowledge and skill as mankind has developed through the years of our existence we still can’t explore the outer reaches of the celestial arena.  There are more stars than we can ever count and more planets orbiting those stars than anyone can even imagine.  With each telescope of greater power we find parts of the creation never seen before.  We have not yet explored the outer reaches of the creation.

And then move the other direction, to the smallest particles of the creation.  Break a human body down and you will find an array organs and a vascular system of amazing veins and arteries.  And every part of the body can be broken down even further into cells of various kinds.  And go beyond that to look at the makeup of each cell and you’ll find still smaller parts.  It seems that with each microscope of greater power we find smaller parts of the creation.  We have not yet plumbed the depths of the intricacies of the creation.

From vast to minute, the creation is an amazing thing!  It’s beyond our comprehension.  And it all was created by the God of creation.

And here’s an even more amazing truth:  the same God who created and sustains all things is interested in you and me.  He knows us down to the tiniest hair on our heads.  He has plans for us down to the number of days we will live.  He cares for us so much that He intervened in the world to pay the price to have a relationship with us.

Do you understand why God cares for you?  I don’t either!  I’m amazed by it -- and I rejoice in it!

His, by Grace,

Steve
