God is Creative

This is one of the areas where we can get lost in our understanding of God.  He is creative beyond anything we will ever personally experience, but we can see His creativity and understand some of it through our own or another's creativity.  We can also discern its immense power whenever we unleash our own creativity.

I sat in a cafe in Vancouver, B.C. looking at a large books containing photographs of the universe.  I was overwhelmed at the colors, immensity, complexity, beauty, extravagance, engineering (atoms to galaxies), design, bizarreness, boldness, even brazenness of it all.  How could anybody do that?  Why?  Was any good thing not tried?  And the pictures were only of the physical dimension!  How many others exist in the same "space"?

My answer less question was: "What motivated God to do all this?!  Can He just not restrain Himself?"

You and I consider an atomic bomb to be powerful; same with the sun, our solar furnace, the engineering and creation of which is far beyond human understanding.  Yet, here before me in a solitary book was a manifestation of power, design, engineering, and artistry far beyond the sun and far beyond anything I had ever imagined.

Ad God created it all.  I find it beyond absurd, try as I might, to believe that the intricate design of a cell, of DNA, of a human body or that that a planet just "evolved".  Clearly such immense engineering feats call for questions:  Who is the architect?  Who is the builder?

God is creative and powerful beyond anything you or I can fully comprehend.  The good news is that He's also good and holy!  Our planet and immediate environment would be far more magnificent if they were connected to Him.  If He were the ruler of this world, all would work as He designed it to work at the outset:  He would have made it work in goodness and holiness, which is keeping with his character.
