DAY FIVE

What a day! Of Creation, I mean. Genesis 1:20 tells of the creation of fish and birds of every kind. Along with every other sea inhabitant.

Many times I've heard others marvel at God's creating the stars, planets, galaxies and calling them all by name. Also His creation of the many, many kinds of beautiful birds and fish, distinct in their appearance alone is fascinating.

In fact, my vocabulary runs out quickly in describing the awesome power of Our Father. Too often we take for granted what He did. Or in a secular world, He doesn't even get the credit. But back to the ones who know. We gloss over the Creation and say, "God created the heavens and the earth and on the seventh day He rested."

Yet we look at the Sistine Chapel and ooh and ahh. We look at Mount Rushmore and appreciate the task, the intricacy of the handiwork. We flock to Niagara Falls. And time and time again we gasp at great athletic plays or achievements. All rightfully so. But don't stop there. Give due diligence.

To the Maker of it all. To the simply fabulous Creator. And do it over and over again.

When we adore the created over the Creator, we do Him a disservice. And when we ignore the Creator in favor of scientists who claim Big Bang, then we blaspheme.

We're much better served by "What a Mighty God is He," and "Our God is an Awesome God". He is so "worthy of worship, worthy of praise" even if He stopped on Day Five.
