The world in which
we live in is one of the greatest proofs for the existence of God. The very fact that
the universe exists at all point to a Creator.
Even the most
cynical scientist does not believe that everything around us came from nothing.
There had to be a
beginning. And if there was a beginning, there had to be Someone to begin
everything.
But God didn’t just
create the world; He designed it.
Whether you study
the cosmos or the human body, you will find that the systems and cycles and
rhythms of life operate with incredible precision.
And like many
others, including a large number of the world’s top scientists, you will
conclude that all of it came from an intelligent Designer, who is powerful, personal,
and loving.
Yet in spite of the
evidence around us, people have done a strange thing. They have chosen to focus
on the creation rather than the Creator.
The apostle Paul
wrote that people worship the things God made but not He Himself.
That would be like
seeing a beautiful painting and concluding that the artist had nothing to do
with it, or that the artist really didn’t matter.
Or tasting
something so delicious, we do not wonder who cooked it.
We just don’t do
that. We acknowledge and praise the artist or the chef while showing
appreciation for the product.
The same thing goes
for God’s creation. We are to appreciate it, protect it, and even manage it
while preserving it.
But we should never
worship creation. All praise should go to the Creator, God Almighty.
