“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness” (Genesis 1:1–4).
The Bible tells us that God created the heavens and the earth. It’s something we read and reread from the time we are kids. As we grow up, we hear people talking about different ways in which the world and its inhabitants came into being. While some people teach evolution, many questions remain; for example, Did life come from another world?
As time has gone by, we have been learning that an increasing number of scientists are questioning their theories of evolution. The more they dig deep into the origins of the universe, the more they are becoming convinced that the universe and everything in it were not caused by an accident or by the work of human hands. There has to be a master planner behind all this.
If we go back to Genesis, that great old book of the Bible, we will see how clearly it defines how God made the heaves, the earth, light, darkness, the seas, the grass, the herbs, the fruits, the sun, the moon, the stars, and much, much more. All of creation shouts out one enormous, life-changing truth: there is a God! He is the creator behind the creation and the designer behind this beautiful place, our world.
Do you want to know something more awesome that that? This God, this Creator, this Wonderful Designer wants you to have a personal relationship with Him because He loves you unconditionally. After all, He created you as well, in His own image!
Many people in the world may say one thing, but creation speaks for itself. It tells of the existence of God, Who is none other than our God revealed to us in the Bible.

» What is my first thought for the day? Do I breathe the fresh air and thank God for the day?
» What do I think of when I look at a simple flower? Do the flower’s detail and beauty speak to my heart?
