Genesis 1:1
New International Version
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 17:7
New International Version
7 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
ELOHIM [el-oh-heem]: God “Creator, Mighty and Strong”– the plural form of Eloah, which accommodates the doctrine of the Trinity. From the Bible’s first sentence, the superlative nature of God’s power is evident as God (Elohim) speaks the world into existence.
God the Creator. Imagine the power that it took to create from nothing something. Imagine the creativity of God to make a galaxy, a giraffe, an elephant, or even you. It is difficult to imagine the power it took to create this universe. It is difficult to even grasp the breadth of imagination that God possessed to create its inhabitants.
Then there is you. The Creator took His time to design you. He created each hair follicle, pore, tooth, and fingerprint. Then after designing you, He placed a piece of Himself in you. He not only created you the way you are, but He decided to give you a piece of Himself.
As you pray this day, take time to praise our Creator for His creation, including you.
