Worthy

5 You are all around me—in front of me and in back of me.

You lay your hand on me.

13 You alone created my inner being.

You knitted me together inside my mother.

14 I will give thanks to you

because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made.

Your works are miraculous,

Psalms 139: 5,13-14 (GW)

One of the things we are instructed to do as Christians is to read God's word and meditate on it. In doing this lately the thing that God keeps bringing to my mind is His Greatness. I seem to be reminded at every turn that He is the creator of all things and before all things,He was. Out of the vastness and emptiness He created all things, the heavens and earth, the universe, and all that is in them. There are new discoveries every day.This universe and it's vastness cannot be comprehended. We really don't even know how big it is. He gives man the knowledge and ability to discover these things but they have been there all of the time. There is nothing new to God. He knows all and is in all.
Should we not stand in awe of all this greatness and worship Him.
The other day I watched a program on TV about the recent face transplant that was performed and the thing that struck me was when a doctor commented about how complicated this procedure was because of the complexity of the face and all it contains. Out of the face we talk, eat, smile, frown, hear, see, and smell. He talked about all of the muscles and nerves that control these things and how they joined all of these things in the transplant to the existing ones on the lady's face. To myself I thought, it took months and probably even years to prepare for this procedure to study and look at every intricate part of this, and what did God do? He formed man out of the dust of the earth, not just the face but the whole man.
Not only did he do this but He spoke, "light be" and there was light and divided the water from the land. He put the blue in the sky, green in the grass, leaves on the trees, meow in the cat and the moo in the cow.
He then came to earth as a child created in the womb of a woman by His spirit. After all if he can make man from the dust of the earth and woman from the man's rib what is the big deal about placing His child in the woman.
Think about all of this! Let it sink in! It is too much for us to comprehend. He is the creator of all things and he loves you, wants you to know him intimately and come and live in you. Can you imagine this; the one who created all things and he wants to reside in you? He thinks about you.
I wish there were words to describe Him but I am at a loss for words. He is an awesome God, almighty God able to do more than we could ever think of or imagine. As you are reading this think about these things and if you are under some heaviness He will begin to bring you out when you worship Him. This God who created all things loves you, thinks of you, and wants the best for you.
