Creation and Faith

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

As I take my daily walks I look around and marvel at all the wonders around me.  I am amazed at how the plants spring forth from the bare ground into beautiful flowering plants, or how the bare tree limbs shoot forth their buds and then into leaves with the changing of the seasons. Like David stated Psalms 8:3,4a “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou are mindful of him?” I also have the same question when I realized that the God of this entire universe cares for even a small part of His creation such as me. 

Here in Hebrews 11:3 I realized that knowing Jesus as my Savior I have a better understanding of the world around me.  Instead of trying to explain how this world was created I just enjoy the peace that I have deep in my heart by knowing the one personally who framed the world around me.  Christ gave us the example of the lilies in Luke chapter twelve of how great his power is in this world.  As they grow, they toil not, they spin not and yet that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of them.  So, as I look around at this creation the answer of how it can into being is simple; God spoke, and it happened.
