“Let them praise the name of the Lord, for He commanded and they were created.” Psalm 148:3 (NKJV)
With the very first phrase in the Bible, the incredible history of the creation begins to unfold. In the beginning, God…who is limitless in power, wisdom, and love…wanted one thing. It wasn’t that God was needy, or lacking of anything. But, God IS love, and that love needed an object of His affection. He simply wanted someone with whom to share His love.
So he set about creating the universe and all that is in it. Words began to flow from His mouth beginning each time with “Let there be…” and there was. In the days of creation God began forming planets and stars, continents and oceans. Yet as detailed and amazing as they were, they were only the stage for His dearest and best creation…you. God created everything needed for you to live, and for Him to express His love to you. And, then He created you… in His image…with a heart that could accept His love and return it. God wants to share himself with you. Maybe today is the day to open your heart to Him.
Dear God, thank you for creating such an amazing universe and for loving me. Help me to know your love and show your love in return. Amen.
