Beauty of Creation

I am an outdoor person and I love nature.I am always amazed with the beauty of creation. Everything that we see around us in nature points to His Majesty and His awesome creative ability. God alone is able to create something out of nothing. I believe all creation was designed to inspire and lead us to love God

One of the sweetest experiences of my childhood days is the experience of growing near a seaside. Growing up in the state Pahang, we are blessed with some of the finest beaches in Malaysia. With the strong waves from the South China Sea, Teluk Chempedak, is an awesome place to relax and also to reflex the goodness of God's creation. The best moment when we watch the sun rising over the ocean, and the view of the golden reflection on the oceans surface is breath taking. 

This visual imagery brings to mind two Bible passages.  The first is a declaration by the great apostle Paul, affirming the observation of God’s creative ingenuity in everything we see. Paul said "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse (Rom. 1:20)".

The second is a statement by Job, further confirming God’s wondrous creativity and constant miraculous intervention in His Creation. "He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.  He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be numbered (Job 9:9,10)."

Take a few moments now to notice and appreciate God’s creation around you. Then notice the goodness He’s created in you, too, and thank Him for this blessing!

Be Blessed.
