At our joint harvest service on 5 October we considered the incredible imagination of God in creating our world. While many in our world today do not aspire to any religious belief, the immense scope and minute detail of Creation convinces me, without the shadow of a doubt, that there is a God. I read that if the distance between the earth and the sun were the thickness of one piece of paper the distance across our Galaxy would be a stack of paper 310 miles high. Then there is the intricacy of our human bodies; the length of all our blood vessels laid end to end is over 60,000 miles and the eye is made up of more than two million moving parts!

Science continues to try to explain the how of creation, and it’s interesting to hear the various theories. But more important to me than the how is the why. We find a straightforward answer to that question when we read the Bible. God created this world to display God’s glory. And then, in an embodiment of love He gave us life so that we could enjoy creation and worship our creator.

What a gift it is to take pleasure in the breathtaking beauty of God’s creation! It is a reminder to take time out of our busy schedules to simply reflect on a remarkable world and worship the almighty God who created it.
“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” Revelation 4.11

Prayer: Heavenly creator God, thank you for the love you express in creation’s beauty and for allowing us to be part of it. May we always bring honour and glory to you. Amen.

Every blessing
Susan
