Another Musick-al note: # 34
I find that it is impossible to speak of one of these great attributes of God without using another for they are all intertwined and work as a single unit. Speak of the creative force and one must also speak of God’s omnipotence (power), His omniscience (knowledge) and His omnipresence. Inherent in these one must include His divine love, His eternal plan, His patience and forbearance with man, His hatred of sin, His forgiveness to obedient believers, and His abiding joy for all men.
Now think of His Omnipotence displayed in everything in the universe. He made the heaven and the earth, put an expanse (firmament) around the earth greater than man can even imagine. He made dry land appear, caused vegetation to grow and able to reproduce itself, put the sun and moon in place as well as the stars, made fish to swim in the water and birds to fly in the air, brought forth all the animals to live on the earth and crowned his achievement by forming man, breathing into him life and man who became a living being (soul). No man can accomplish any of the above nor even understand all the power God put into a single atom. The splitting of an atom brought forth the atomic bomb and released more power than on can even imagine. Even in the human body so fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalms 139:14), God has put powers that man struggles to know such as how does it heal when hurt, how every part is useful to the whole, how the mind is able to think and control the body, how the hand is formed and able to grasp even in tiny babies. Even within the eye how the retina with its rods and cones is able to turn light rays into shapes and colors within the brain. Man is able to determine the movement of air and the paths within the sea but understanding their origin is beyond the knowledge of man. There are so many more things that could be cited that show the power of the Omnipotent God, but these should convince us of the greatness of our God.
