Have you ever thought about how everything got its beginning? How was the earth created? How were the stars and other planets created? How are ideas created? How do thoughts come to mind? Do you know there are answers? Do you want to know them?
If we take a few moments to think about how the earth was created, we will likely be baffled by enormity of the task. Wrapping our minds around what it would take to create matter from nothing is simply mind blowing. But even if we start with rock and soil, the task is still too big to comprehend.
If we ponder how our thoughts come to us, we start explaining how the various parts of our brains store information. We may speak of neurons firing, sending electrical signals. We may be able to explain a process by which these electrical signals are translated into words. But when we dive deeper and try to explain how the brain was initially created, we fall short.
When we start thinking about how everything was created, we quickly find we do not have the capacity to comprehend it. But God tells us he created it all. When he says he is the beginning and the end, he is telling us that he has always existed and will always exist. Again, this is a concept we cannot fully understand. In this life, we know things have a beginning and an end. Each person, as far as we can explain, starts with conception and ends when they take their last breath. But God does not live by our timeline. He is eternal.
I pray we all take time to ponder creation. I pray we are in awe by all that God has created. I pray each one of us understand that we may be finite in this life, but God is infinite. Ponder God’s creation. Be awed by God’s creation. Know that God is infinite. Know that God is creator of all things.
Revelation 21:6 Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life.”
