The World Points to God
In the last post, we started our journey with the foundation that there is a God. I wanted to unpack that a little more as we get going. I left you with four verses that point to God being the Creator of all things. Let’s look at two of those.
Psalm 19:1–2 — “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.”
Colossians 1:16–17 — “For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
When I read Psalm 19, I’m struck by the idea that creation is not silent — it’s speaking all the time. Every sunrise and every star-filled night proclaims something beyond itself. The order of the seasons, the beauty of the skies, the rhythm of nature — it all points like a signpost to God’s glory.
Even science, which I admire deeply, can’t help but uncover that same beauty and order. For example, scientists have discovered that the laws of physics are incredibly precise. If gravity or the forces that hold atoms together were even slightly different, life wouldn’t exist. It’s as if the universe has been “fine-tuned” with perfect balance.
Or think about DNA. Inside each of our cells is a complex code — billions of “letters” of information, perfectly arranged to sustain life. That doesn’t feel random to me. It feels like design. It feels like the fingerprints of a Creator woven into the very fabric of who we are.
But Colossians 1 takes it even deeper. It tells us that all of this — the stars in the sky, the code in our cells, the forces that hold the universe together — was created through Jesus and for Jesus. He isn’t just part of creation; He’s before it, above it, and the one who sustains it even now.
That amazes me. The same Jesus who walked dusty roads, who healed the sick, who welcomed the broken — He’s also the One who holds galaxies in place and keeps our hearts beating. Creation shows us there must be a God, but Jesus shows us who that God is: personal, present, and full of love.
So when I feel small or uncertain, these verses remind me: I’m not adrift in a random universe. I’m held in the hands of Jesus, the one who said, “No one will snatch them out of my hand” (John 10:28).
And maybe that’s the invitation I’d leave with you today. The world around us is constantly declaring God’s glory. The question is, will we pause long enough to notice? And if we do, will we let that wonder draw us closer to the One who not only made it all, but who longs to walk with us?
