While recently cruising through the Gulf of Mexico I was
impressed with the vast amount of water all around - its length, its
width and its depth. Everywhere I looked all I could see was water. Where did
this water come from? How did it get here? As the earth rotates, what makes it adhere to the earth and
not fling away into space? The Bible says, "And
God said let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place
and let the dry land appear and it was so. And God called the dry land earth
and the gathering together of the waters he called the seas and God saw that it
was good" (Genesis 1:9-10).The seas with all the water they contain did not appear by chance; they were planned and created by God. In fact, the world and everything in it was created for God's glory. The Bible says "The whole earth is full of his glory" (Isaiah 6:3). So when we look at creation we should think of God - His greatness, His power, and His majesty - not just for us to enjoy, but for our minds to be focused on Him and His glory. When you look at creation - be sure to enjoy it, but also be ready to give glory to God.
