Uncreated One

OK - I'm on a roll - found another song showing the glory of God as our Creator - He is the uncreated one who has created everything. Let's praise Him!

Another Creation Song

I can't help but add this song and video after the last posting - won't you praise Him with me today?

The Creation Song by Fernando Ortega

Wonderful Maker

he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it. Isaiah 42:5

God, our creator. Sometimes my feeble little mind can't get around how amazing of a creator we have. I saw His creation this week in a big lightning storm. A local weather reporter said there were 9,000 strikes of lightening from one storm just in a local area. Amazing.

I have seen His creation in a lush green land in Ireland. I've stood at the top of the Cliffs of Moher (frightened of the height) and seen the awe of His creation.

I have been amazed at His creation as I've gone through "meeting" children through ultrasounds, then to be completely amazed as I've gotten to meet them in person. The birth of a baby is an amazing look at God's Creation.

I need more amazement in my life. So often, the mundane tasks take away from my mind that spirit of amazement. I take for granted the great God and how He works. How He creates.

Take some time today to thank our great Creator for His gifts of creation. Be in awe of Him today. Here are some verses that talk about Him as our creator:

This is what God the LORD says—
he who created the heavens and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it,
who gives breath to its people,
and life to those who walk on it: Isaiah 45:5


Psalm 148

1 Praise the LORD. [a]
Praise the LORD from the heavens,
praise him in the heights above.

2 Praise him, all his angels,
praise him, all his heavenly hosts.

3 Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, all you shining stars.

4 Praise him, you highest heavens
and you waters above the skies.

5 Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for he commanded and they were created.

6 He set them in place for ever and ever;
he gave a decree that will never pass away.

7 Praise the LORD from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,

8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy winds that do his bidding,

9 you mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,

10 wild animals and all cattle,
small creatures and flying birds,

11 kings of the earth and all nations,
you princes and all rulers on earth,

12 young men and maidens,
old men and children.

13 Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for his name alone is exalted;
his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

14 He has raised up for his people a horn, [b]
the praise of all his saints,
of Israel, the people close to his heart.
Praise the LORD.


Let us praise the Lord today for His great creation - His creation in the world around you. His creation in you and growing within you. He is am amazing and great creator. I pray the following video clip will facilitate some praise today. Look beyond the mundane - look to our amazing Creator God today.


Dear God,

I praise You for your creation. You took nothing and created our world - with just your words, You created. I praise You for the world around me. I praise you that you give me every breath in my day. I praise You that You provide food and drink. I praise You for the blessings that abound in my life. Father God, I praise You for the creation of this precious little life growing inside of me. Help me to remember to be amazed today. If I am weary or not feeling well, remind me that You can renew my strength. You can renew my mind. God, I stand amazed today and ask You to continue to grow this precious little life inside of me. In Jesus' name. Amen.


Wonderful Maker by Chris Tomlin

You spread out the skies over empty space
Said "let there be light"
Into a dark and formless world Your light
was born

You spread out Your arms over empty hearts
Said "let there be light"
Into a dark and hopeless world Your Son
was born

You made the world and saw that it was good
You sent Your only son for You are good

What a wonderful Maker
What a wonderful Savior
How majestic Your whispers
And how humble Your love
With a strength like no other
And the heart of a Father
How majestic Your whispers
What a wonderful God

No eye has fully seen, how beautiful the cross
And we have only heard
The faintest whispers of how great You are
