Psalm 8:3-4 ESV
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

From my childhood I have been told that God created everything by His very word. At times in my life I have questioned this fact but, strangely it is one of those things that I don't think about much. It's easy for me to accept that God could make everything out there. Everything outside of me. Everything that I see and am in awe of. He had, has, and will have, the power to handle all of creation. What I have trouble with, and think about frequently, is that God has the power to handle me. To handle those things in my life that I struggle with. The God that created the entire world, and existence itself, has the power to create a way for me. I feel like my life is mine to handle. But, why would I rely on my own strength when all I have the power to create is a really warped piece of pottery that even my mom would only use to hold loose change? Why not rely on the God who has the power to create the amazing, the awesome, the inspiring? Why is it so hard to accept that He can handle the storm in me when He calmed the raging seas? What part of creation inspires you? He cares for you so much more. Will you let Him work with you like He did with all the universe?
