God Created All
Gen. 1:1-25
Perhaps you have read Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution which explains that life originated from a small microscopic organism. Your culture, too, may have a mythological account of how the world began. Science and cultural myths have some unconvincing, doubtful accounts of how all things began. The Bible, the Word of the Almighty God gives us an account of how all things began. In a very simple but authoritative language, it declares that “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). It explains how God, the Creator of all things, formed both living and non-living things on earth, including man. God, by His spoken creative word brought all things into existence. Yes, all things! By Prophetic announcement, Isaiah declares “For thus says the LORD, who created the Heavens, God Himself who formed the earth and made it. He has established it. He did not create it without purpose, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, and there is no one else” (Isa. 45:18). Believers accept this creation story as authentic and unimpeachable. God created all things, both visible and invisible, liquid and solid substances, organic and inorganic materials, etc. What a Mighty God! And He did it within six days!
POINT OF EMPHASIS: God is the Creator of all things, including you.
PRAYER POINT: God, I recognise You as the Creator of all things. I worship You!
