Bigger Than Creation
Pastor Bob Fox
Psalm 102:25-28
Here are three things God has revealed about our planet and us.
- It was planned, designed, and built by Him, for Him (Colossians 1:15-16).
- He was powerful enough to establish the laws that govern it all.
- He was wise enough to create what would endure for an allotted time period.
- The new things we learn about it are ancient history to Him.
- God is eternal. This creation is not.
- We should expect to see irreversible damage from use to the planet.
- We should expect to foresee limits to the earth’s ability to sustain us.
- We should see the earth as a temporary set for a scripted drama with a definitive last act that is golden!
- Stewarding well demands embracing this plan. For example, conservation and clean up are legitimate ambitions. So is development. Preservation is untenable.
- The prime thing to steward is The Legacy—My role in the family God is gathering to Himself for an eternal creation.
God, being bigger than Creation, has made us more significant than the universe!
