~ Loving the Lord of Creation

It may be somewhat incongruous at the moment, with flooding on the Eastern coast of Australia, Fire declarations in Western Australia and the complications of snow throughout the Northern Hemisphere; but we are meant to see God in the evidence of His Creation.
God created the universe as a place His for people, us, to enjoy. He also built into it, the evidence of His own presence, so that after the sin of the original couple and their exclusion from Eden, there would be a chance to remember their creator.
The order of the universe with the seasons changing at more or less the same time each sequential year speaks to the ordered nature of the Creator God, more than that it also speaks of His provision for the people He created for relationship. There is a big rock floating out from Planet Earth called the moon. It is geostationary but it is also uninhabitable because unlike our home it does not spin, which means that half of it is in darkness and unbearably cold and the other half that is in constant light but too hot for human life. However it is not without use, for God set it to be the light source to “rule the night”.
I have often stood still as I< see the beauty of God’s creation. Not merely the play of light that we call sunrise and sunset but the engineering of a spider’s web and even the systems of cleaning up after a death in the animal world. David the King in his Psalms spends a lot of time praising God in all the way of creation. Psalm 104 begins with “O my soul, bless God! God, my God, how great you are! How beautifully, gloriously robed,” and goes on from that point. He writes in Psalm 145:9-11
“GOD is good to one and all; everything he does is suffused with grace.
Creation and creatures applaud you, God; your holy people bless you.
They talk about the glories of your rule, they exclaim over your splendour,”
King Solomon David’s son in Ecclesiastes 3:11 says that
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
This verse is the one that validates my comment about God leaving the evidence around us of His presence. Sin forced a wedge between God and Man but He did not leave us without a reminder of His Creation.
These passages and many others attest to God leaving His fingerprint on His Creation up until Jesus who came to restore the relationship God had intended
Jesus had one of His many encounters with the Pharisee group, one of the groups in Hebrew society who stood against Him. This is recorded in Luke 19 and is if His entry into Jerusalem just before Hs death. The Pharisees objected to the adoration of the crowd, but let’s let Luke tell the story starting at verse 37.
37-38Right at the crest, where Mount Olives begins its descent, the whole crowd of disciples burst into enthusiastic praise over all the mighty works they had witnessed:
Blessed is he who comes, the king in God's name!
All's well in heaven! Glory in the high places!
39Some Pharisees from the crowd told him, "Teacher, get your disciples under control!"
40But he said, "If they kept quiet, the stones would do it for them, shouting praise."
I think the only thing left to say is. Enough said.
