Food for Thought
Do you remember the first time you saw a mountain rising from the horizon? Or do you recall the first time you stood on the beach and saw nothing but an expansive ocean before you? I don’t know about you, but experiences like that capture my attention. That’s because the greatness of creation reflects the greatness of the Creator. It makes me want to shout with David, “Lord, our Lord, how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!” (Psalm 8:1).
His magnificence is not hidden. The planet we live on shouts this in a million wondrous ways. But God’s creation and His greatness aren’t limited to just our planet. “You have covered the heavens with your majesty.” (v. 1).
Consider the moon. Scientists have learned that if the moon were any larger, it would cause all sorts of problems. The earth tilts at a perfect 23.4 degrees, for example, but a larger moon and its resulting stronger gravitational pull would cause the earth to tilt so far in one direction that one side of the planet would experience unbearable heat and the other side would only know a subzero climate.
