God Made Everything
GOD lives in heaven, and He is powerful
beyond our wildest imagination! He made the earth and stars and sun and everything
else. A long time ago He made the animals and birds and plants. Then He made the
first man and the first woman.
Think about some of the things in our beautiful world – the
giraffe and the elephant and the lion and the trees. Imagine what it was like long,
long ago when there were no trees or animals anywhere in all the world. But then God
made them. Who except GOD could do this?
Andrew and his friend Wesley were talking about God.
“How do we know God made the world?” Andrew asked.
“Because,” Wesley said, “we can look around us and see the
sky and trees and birds and animals. You and I could never make them. Only GOD
could.”
Think about how great God is to be able to make the sun and
stars and birds and everything else! We can only draw pictures of these things – we
can’t make them. Only GOD can! He said, “Let there be…” and there it was!
You or I could never make even a mouse or a puppy! But GOD can! He can do
anything.
Light travels 186,000 miles every second. It travels fast enough to go around the
entire world seven times between now and … now! Yet it takes eight minutes for light
from the sun to arrive here on earth. That’s because the sun is 93 million miles away
from us! Look at the stars at night. They are so far away that it takes from
thousands to millions of years for their light – at the speed of light – to come to us.
God’s power in making the sun and stars, and placing them in the heavens, is beyond
understanding! And He is our GOD and FATHER.
A BIBLE VERSE TO READ
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
–Genesis 1:1
