Recently
I saw a billboard stating that 80 percent of all life on Earth is found in the
seas. That staggering number is difficult to process, largely because most of
that life is out of sight.
As I
considered this, it reminded me of how much greater God’s creation is than we
typically appreciate. While we can easily have our breath taken away by a
majestic mountain range or a panoramic sunset, we sometimes fail to see His
extraordinary work in the details that require more careful study and
examination. Not only is much of God’s creation hidden by the oceans, but other
parts are also too small for our eyes to observe. From the microscopically
small to the unsearched reaches of the universe, it is all the work of our
Creator. In those magnificent structures—seen and unseen—God’s creative glory
is revealed (Rom. 1:20).
As we grow to understand the wonder of creation, it must always point us to the Creator Himself—and call us to worship Him. As the psalmist said, “Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them” (Ps. 69:34). If creation itself gives praise to the Creator, we can and should certainly join the chorus. What a mighty God we serve!
