God is the foundation of all creation.
Paint a picture of primordial soup, or let it all come together in a flash of light. It doesn’t matter. Let it be over seven billion years or a smattering of seven days. The end result is the same. God’s hand moved, and the world came into being. We were given life, and we look to him as the author and finisher of our faith. In God we find our purpose and being. There is no other God except Jehovah.
Genesis 1:1 puts him at the start of everything that happened.
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
Psalm 65:5-7 says that every awesome deed flows from his mighty hand.
“By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas; the one who by his strength established the mountains, being girded with might; who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples.”
Psalm 66:5-6 is our example of his personal interest in us.
“Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man. He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him.”
Luke 8:23-25 reminds us that even with God as our companion, we will be buffeted by life. Even so, he will calm the winds and the waves to comfort those he loves.
“And as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger. And they went and woke him, saying, ‘Master, Master, we are perishing!’ And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm. He said to them, ‘Where is your faith?’ And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, ‘Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?’ ”
Where is the great and mighty one to be found? If we’ve accepted Christ as our Savior, he’s in our hearts, and he’ll be there for us in our time of need.
We have no stronger companion than the God that created the heavens and the earth, and he chooses to live in us.
