We Are Not the Painter

“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” Psalm 19:1

(King David;~1010 BC)📕

When we gaze upon a beautiful sunrise, a newborn baby, a painting, and/or consider the finely engineered design of our DNA, it’s more than reasonable to conclude that these intricate “somethings” could not have come from nothing.

The fact that they exist demonstrates that they had a beginning. And the reality that they had a starting point makes us aware of a cause outside of themselves, which brought them (intentionally) into existence. [1]

Design is evidence of a Designer. The universe, and everyting in it, showcases a timeless, powerful, transcendent, personal, and good Designer (Ge 1:1; Ro 1:20; Col 1:16). [2]

And because God exists, miracles are possible. Given that God created the universe and everything in it – walking on water, changing water into wine, and resurrecting highly probable. It’s like asking Micheal Jordan to dribble a basketball. [3]

And while we reflect God’s design, it’s incredibly important to remember that we are not the Designer. There is only one God, and we are not Him. This fact should steer our minds upward, not inward (Pr 3:5-6; Jn 3; Col 3).🙏🏼📕

“I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.”
Psalm 121:1-2
