Psalm 33:6. “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.” THE LORD OF CREATION. Look around you and praise – with enthusiasm, intelligence, understanding, and creativity. It is the Creator you are praising! Don’t just make noise – use your skill. Use your words – think new thoughts; it is the Creator we are praising. He deserves our best thoughts, our most appropriate expressions of praise. Give honor to the Lord of creation! His words are right – His works are forever. They are both done in truth. There is no deceit here; nothing is underhanded. He who is Lord of creation loves righteousness, justice, and goodness – these are all part of His nature. Let us, therefore, praise the Lord of creation.
Listen to what is said and praise the Lord of creation. Seventeen times, He speaks at creation [Genesis], and what He said was done. In the heavens, the space above, His word was heard, and the heavens were made. The host of stars and angels came into being at the word of the Lord of creation. The breath of His mouth, the Spirit, made Himself known. Above and below, the waters responded to the word of the Lord of creation. He made the waters and placed them by His word for the inhabited world. The waters were stored for the coming judgment. The waters waited again for the word of the Lord of creation. It didn’t take time or process. He spoke, and it was complete, mature, and functioning by the word of the Lord of creation.
Learn from the counsel of the Lord of creation. The counsel of nations and the words of men end in nothing. The devices and thoughts of the knowledge and wisdom of feeble men are of no effect. The word of the Lord, the counsel of the Lord of creation, is forever unchanging and unalterable. For every person, nation, and age, the counsel of the Lord of creation will stand sure and steadfast. He is in control. He “beholds all” and chooses His course of action. He fashions all of His creative work from the counsel of His wisdom. He understands the purpose and the composition of every work from His creative hands.
Link yourself with the Lord of creation. His work of salvation is His real work. Do not link up with what men choose: military power – a multitude of hosts; manpower – much strength; horsepower – safety from that which cannot save. Link yourself with the Lord of creation whose eye, care, and protection are reliable. His eye is on the righteous [Ps.34:15]; His eye preserves knowledge [Pro.22:12]; His eye is in every place, beholding [Pro.15:3]; His eye beholds all the goings of man [Pro.5:21]; His eye goes to and fro upon the earth… showing Himself strong [2Chr.16:9]. His eye is upon those who place their hope in His mercy. He is the Lord of creation who will meet your material needs out of His abundance, guide and help when needed, and protect you as a shield. Our joy is in Him with whom we are linked and who we trust – the Lord of creation.
“The absolute supremacy of the Lord is not only awesome but comforting, O God. I find a strong sense of security in being identified as one of the family members of such a Mighty God. I am also challenged by the testimony of evidence to promote the name and Person of the Lord of creation to the people I contact with the Gospel. I do so in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
