The Apollo 8 Mission Image Archives included this photograph taken from the shuttle of the Earth rising from the moon's surface. I stand in awe of how small and insignificant the earth appears from the nearest object to our planet. Then I am reminded of how our Lord God and Saviour created all of this that we experience on a day to day basis, simply for the delight of His creation to find Him. He made the earth, the atmosphere, gravity, the water cycle, the temperature of the earth, the animals and plants that spring forth from it, our ability to procreate, our bodies to heal from injury - ALL of this for you and me!
I often delight in the idea that despite knowing the beginning from the end and all the juicy details in between, that my Lord STILL chose to create the human race!! He knew exactly what path the human race would take (from the very first generation), He knew the great cost that was going to be paid in order to reconcile us back to Him, He knew every single thing that I would and wouldn't do and yet He still chose to create all of this.
All I can comprehend, is that He must take extreme pleasure, oh the joy that must flow from his heart when one single solitary human recognises Him as Lord and Saviour, that it would be worth it all for just one of His creation to choose from our own free will to follow Him, worship Him and adore Him!
How Great Is Our God!
Bless you
