Every generation has marveled at a sunrise and sunset. Everyone has been startled by a loud clap of thunder. We pause to look at the beauty and wonder in nature because God created all of us with the desire to know him and his unfathomable greatness.

There is a difference between the things people create and the things only God could create. God’s creation is infinite and beyond human ability. God made man in his image, giving him abilities and imagination. However, everything that humans create is finite, having a beginning and an end. 

God wanted us to know his eternal greatness so he created this world to display his power and glory. Humans can only create from what has been created by God’s will. 

We should take great care in our lives to honor and worship the Creator rather than the created. Only God is worthy of our highest praise. He is Lord. His righteous right hand created our world to display his glory. We will love what we extol.

The angels in heaven surround God’s throne saying, “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power” (Revelation 4:11). They know he is holy, Almighty God “who was and is and is to come” (v. 8).

Mankind has created some amazing and impressive things, but nothing that has been made is comparable to the work of the Creator. Only God is worthy of our worship. Worship him as the angels in heaven are worshiping him today. He is your holy, Almighty God, worthy of all praise.

Knowing God is the beginning of wisdom. Know that God is worthy of glory and honor and praise.
