God’s Glorious Creation

What does all of creation say about our God who created all things?

God’s good creation speaks of God. All of creation is glorious as it declares the glory of our God who made it.

The Psalmist writes, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." (Psalm 19:1).

The visible created world speaks of God and his invisible qualities and attributes. God reveals himself in his creation so we can know him and be in relationship with him.

The Apostle Paul wrote the church in Rome, saying, “For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." (Romans 1:20).

God’s glorious creation speaks of God’s glory and reveals his character and nature to us, so we are without excuse. We can know the maker of all things through what he has made.

May we behold the glory of God’s creation and find joy in it as we come to know God the creator more and more and enter into the joy of a deeper relationship with him.

A Prayer For Joy In God’s Creation: “O heavenly Father, you have filled the world with beauty: Open our eyes to behold your gracious hand in all your works; that, rejoicing in your whole creation, we may learn to serve you with gladness; for the sake of him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (#21., Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
