In Genesis 1-2, we are immediately introduced to God as the Creator of all things. In his role as Creator, we see:

• His Power – He simply spoke and it came to be. His power extends over all of his creation. There is nothing that can come against you that God cannot handle.
• His Wisdom – He ordered all things perfectly. If God can perfectly order all of creation, can you not trust him to wisely order your life?
• His Beauty – Having created such a beautiful world, what must God Himself be like? What joy to spend our lives and all of eternity getting to know Him better!
• His Provision – He provided the plants for food, a garden to live in, and a companion to enjoy. How many ways has he provided for you? Give thanks!
• His Authority – He made man and then commanded him. As our Creator, he has the right to command; we have the responsibility to obey.
• His Assignment – He gave man a task – to cultivate the earth and use it for his needs. God did not make you to be idle, but to serve him by working as he gives you strength.
• His Relational Nature – God says, “Let us make man in our image.” That “us” is the first hint of the Trinity – that God is one God in three persons enjoying eternal relationship with each other. When God created people, he entered into a relationship with them too. God is relational, and he made us in his image to be relational too. Our relationship with God and others is central to what it means to be human. How are you cultivating those relationships?
