"On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone- while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?"
{Job 38:6,7} (NIV)
We read the news and we listen to our families and we wonder why did God bother to create the heavens and the earth? Why did He bother to create humans? Then we read these verses and realize that God’s perspective is different than ours. The Creator rejoices, the angels sang and shouted; there was a tremendous party in heaven when the LORD Almighty spoke and things were created. Oh how He loves His creation. He cares for every part of it.
We study the galaxies from afar, but the LORD keeps them moving. We see more road kill then we see live animals, but the LORD feeds every one of them, whether humans are aware of them or not. God must chuckle with pride when humans, that He created, manage to find a ‘new’ species of an animal. New only to us, but intimately cared for by its Creator.
These two chapters of Job present to us a picture of the Creator’s interaction with his creation. Not a picture of a God who wound up a snow globe and is watching it from a distance. NO - a God who is intimately involved in every part of His creation; the huge task of keeping the galaxies moving, the oceans and tides, the clouds and the rain, and the birds and the animals.
The more time we spend in God’s created world the more we sense His Presence. The longer we spend in our A/C and cars, and cities (our creation) the less we sense God’s Presence.
