Have you ever wondered how everything that exists came into being?

Have you paused to look at creation?

Take a moment to look at the everyday beauty around you…the trees, the flowers, sunlight. Picture the beauty of sunrise and the breathtaking sunset that gently creeps up in the later part of the day.

One of the things in creation that baffles me is the cloud. I sometimes stare outside my window and just gaze into the sky, watching the clouds form. I can’t help but admire the various shapes and forms that move majestically across the sky and then dissolve like vapor, as others make their grand entrance and journey on. Every time I see this, I am often left speechless, just in awe of how it all came into being.

I try to imagine where the sky begins and where it ends. How wide, how long, how high, and how deep it really is. Sometimes, I even picture how much space would be left in the sky if everyone on earth were placed in an airplane, in the air, at the same time. In moments like these, the phrase that almost always comes to mind is “God of Wonders.”

God, the creator of the stars, the sun, the moon, the heaven, the earth and the entire universe, and everything that exists in it. He created the earth and created us to inhabit it. Not merely to exist in it, but to thrive, to flourish, and to dominate in it.

Now picture His power and might and imagine that this same God has created you to be like Him, look like Him, and function like Him. Can you even comprehend it? That is who our identity is found in through Christ!

Say this with me: “I am because He is.”
