How Does All Creation Glorify God?

When is the last time that you looked in a mirror and praised the Lord? Not in a conceited or prideful way, but in a genuine way of acknowledging that He knit you together in your mother’s womb and now you are a grown person. You have your own DNA, a special personality, unique skills and interests. You are not an accident; you were planned and formed by the Creator on purpose and for a purpose.

As we admire His creativity through all the variety of people on this earth, we give Him glory. As we watch children reach new milestones, there are celebrations. As we listen to the wisdom of beautiful elderly people, we praise Jesus. As we feel a baby move in a mother’s womb, we glorify God.

This is a pretty serious verse. It tells us that we are without excuse in believing that there is a God because of all of His work around us in His power and in nature. He has revealed Himself clearly through His creation. When people try to push back or neglect including God and science, they are without excuse. They are neglecting the amazing truth that us and this world were formed so intentionally and are loved so deeply by our Maker. Not only this, because of our sinful condition, He came to us as a creation, fully God and fully man, and Jesus saved us by taking away our sins for those who accept Him.

As we admire the intricate and detailed nature around us, may it motivate us to worship our Lord further. May we take time to slow down, look around at what we see, listen to the sounds of creation, and personally thank and worship our great Creator.
