Daily Devotion for September 26, 2006
God Creates, God Loves
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
Recently I have been reflecting back on my “growing up days”. I remember taking family vacations at a place in the UP of Michigan at a town called Paradise. How’s that for a name for a vacation place! It was always so quiet and beautiful right on Lake Superior's Whitefish Bay. I can understand the magnificence of the heavens when one is looking out over water. Miles from civilization and its accompanying lights, the late night sky is spectacular. Sprinklings of stars, twinkling stars and glowing planets, constellations and frequent shooting stars entertained us for hours. To listen to silence!
Who is God that He creates so incredibly? Who is He that would consider my needs in the scheme of the greater plan? Who is this God who would hear my pleas for help when my palm pilot isn’t working right or when I am lost driving? This Creator God, who created galaxies and solar systems, microbes and atoms, is invested in the miniscule details of my life and yours! Wow – that is great news!
Prayer
Father God, I cannot comprehend the awesomeness of Your creation nor the vastness of Your love. All I know is that I don’t have to understand Your love to receive it. You are a great and mighty God, worthy to be praised. Amen.
