Man’s Creation vs. God’s Greatness
The other day I visited a beach here in Beira, Mozambique that has an old shipping vessel shipwrecked at the point where high tide meets the sand. As I was standing there trying to figure out the best angle to capture this unique photo opt, the 5 foot high waves were relentlessly beating against the rusty ship. In that moment, I thought about God’s greatness.
I imagine when this shipping vessel was created it was meant to withstand the temperament of the sea. It was probably a source of pride for the person who created it. They probably thought, “Look what I’ve created! It’s the best, the fastest, the most reliable of its kind,” but now this source of pride is abandoned and rotting away. People often think what they create with their hands will last forever as some sort of memorial to their accomplishments, but nothing created by a person is immune to destruction.
As I looked at those waves crashing against that once great, but now rusty ship, I thought about how God has never changed. The ocean He’s created has not rusted away, but it remains as constant as the tides that come and go. His glory is seen in what He has created; it testifies of His unchanging, unending greatness.
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things htat are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.” Romans 1:20
I have always wondered how anyone could look at the beauty of His creation alone and not be absolutely convinced that He exists. I sure am!
Yes! It’s so true:)
