Reflection: The Wonder of Our Creator***
What makes a painting great? Or an opera? What makes an artist, a composer, a baker wonderful? How is that title earned?
By definition, a “wonderful” creation fills our hearts with wonder, with awe and appreciation:
- Consider the intricacies of light and color that dance on a canvas by Monet. Wonder-full!
- Or contemplate that light-as-a-feather French pastry from your favorite bakery-cream-filled and coated with just enough dark chocolate. Wonder-full!
These things are wonderful. But the universe and its wonders are by far more awesome than anything any human being has ever produced. The raw power and intricate wisdom we see in the creation all around us arouse our wonder. But the physical aspects of creation are only the beginning.
Our creator is also the source of all wisdom, of all beauty, of all truth, of all goodness! We know what justice is because God is just. We know what goodness is because our Creator is fully, entirely, steadfastly good.
Our Creator is an awesome, wonder-full God. Think about that!
Prayer: Lord God, you are wonderful beyond my ability to imagine. Awesome. Majestic. Powerful. But above all, you are good. You made me and you forgive me…
Stay prayerful and read the following daily:
Isaiah 43:1 (KJV) – “But now, this is what the LORD says– he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.”
Job 37:22, 23 (ESV)-“God is clothed with awesome majesty…He is great in power; justice and abundant righteousness he will not violate.”
