"Oh Lord, my GodWhen I, in awesome wonderConsider all the worlds Thy hands have madeI see the stars, I hear the rolling thunderThy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to TheeHow great Thou art, how great Thou artThen sings my soul, my Savior God to TheeHow great Thou art, how great Thou artHow great Thou art, how great Thou art"
Creation speaks to you about a great designer, a beyond intelligent mind that brought together large mountains, vast forests and the complex bodies that we use to move over and through them. The various ecosystems that exist throughout these areas and the plants and animals that play a role in the management of one another in each, keeping a balance of order and continued healthy growth.
It is that same intelligent creator that made a plan for us, through Christ his son and as you read the greater story of scripture and take it all in for what it is you see that His complex genius permeates the story, leaving His fingerprints throughout it just as they are seen in His physical creation.
And when we sing those next two lines of "How Great Thou Art":
And when I think that God, His Son not sparingSent Him to die, I scarce can take it inThat on the cross, my burden gladly bearingHe bled and died to take away my sin
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamationAnd take me home, what joy shall fill my heartThen I shall bow, in humble adorationAnd then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!
We see a God that has always had a plan, that designed us for a purpose, knowing that we would rebel, that we would fall and corrupt His creation that was "Good" and cause a curse to reign in our mortal bodies and that perfect world. But again, he brought forth the perfect to reconcile us to Him, to bring us back to the state of being "Good" once more in a perfect world with Him and on that day we will all with humble adoration bow and acknowledge how great he is, but let's not wait until that day, rather acknowledge Him now and live in reflection of how great a God we truly serve.
