We were singing “Revelation Song” in church last week, a song I love because of the lyrics. I will attach the song at the end, but the chorus is what caught my attention, especially the bolded line below.


​
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord, God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come, yeah
With all creation I sing, praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You

Numerous verses sprung to mind about creation, and so knowing I wanted to write this blog, I first searched for an appropriate image to accompany it. It was futile.

No one image could show all of creation. I then searched for a montage of images, but all of those fell short as well. Nowhere could I find one graphic that could encompass the mountains, deserts, oceans, plains, bayous, rivers, lakes, … then add to that every bird, animal, fish, insect, … then throw in the planets and stars and . . . well, it only made that one line “with all creation I sing” even that much more impressive. 

Which then took me to the truth of Romans 1:20 “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-- his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made.”

Multiple Old Testament and New attest to the sovereignty of God in creation. (See verses below.)  

No wonder when the Pharisees demanded Jesus to silence his followers as they praised him as the “king who comes in the name of the Lord” Jesus responded:
​

I tell you . . . if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” Luke 19:40

And the trees, and the birds, and the stars . . . . If even the most inanimate object attests to a God who creates all and to the truth of who Jesus is, how does anyone, anyone, attribute creation to anything else but God Almighty.

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.
They have no speech, they use no words;
    no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world. Psalm 19:1-4

O Lord, how manifold are your works!
    In wisdom have you made them all; Psalm 104:24

This is what God the Lord says--
the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out,
    who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it,
    who gives breath to its people,
    and life to those who walk on it: 
—  Isaiah 42:5 (NIV)

“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
    Tell me, if you know so much.
Who determined its dimensions
    and stretched out the surveying line?
What supports its foundations,
    and who laid its cornerstone
as the morning stars sang together
    and all the angels shouted for joy? Job 38:4-7

By faith we understand that the universe has been created by a word from God so that the visible came into existence from the invisible. 
— Hebrews 11:3 (CEB)
