Struck by the amazing beauty of the flowering cactus beside me, I began thinking of the infinity of GOD as seen in HIS Creation. There is such a vast variety in what HE made, from the comical praying mantis, to the lumbering elephant, a tiny brilliantly colored flower to the grass or an eagle. GOD must have designed each thing in HIS creation individually for they are so different in design, color, shape, size and purpose. The intricate details of a tiny wildflower that is here today and gone tomorrow declares our Creator is a GOD of details. No wonder it is written, “The heavens declare the glory of GOD; and the firmament (earth) shows HIS handiwork” (Psalm 19:1).
The cryptic wording in Genesis 1 seems to imply that the individual creating of the vast varieties of each order of things (everything after its kind) such as birds were done simultaneously -much like HE listens to each of the millions of concerns continually brought to HIM through prayers all at the same time yet giving each HIS total undivided attention without distraction. Talk about muti-tasking!
As I think about the minute thought out details of HIS creation, the seasons, the water cycle, the sometimes funny qualities and hidden secrets (like the star in center of each apple and rose) I can’t help but wonder what hidden surprises await me in the plans HE has for me.
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard neither has entered into the heart of man, the things which GOD has prepared for them that love HIM. But GOD is revealing them unto us (one by one) by HIS SPIRIT” (1 Corinthians 2:9-10)
As the Psalmist would say—Selah or STOP and just think about that!
