"9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be
gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.”
And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth, and
the waters that were gathered together he called Seas.
And God saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:9-10
There are specific things that are around me that are granted, to me as a human being, to see order. Physically I see the sky being blue, yet due to scientific knowledge everyone knows that blue is merely a reflection of what is right around us, and collectively acknowledge there is something far beyond our grasp and meek description of what is out there. Yet before going beyond my own grasp, I must mention that it is clear that the heavens and the earth having distinct characteristics that not only in a sense is parallel to my Creator's perfect trinity but also shows His sovereignty in all things. He creates life, He reigns over it all and we are but inklings in His diary of eternity.
He "gathered" together the waters and "let" dry land appear. He does certain things purposefully and it also seems that He grants certain things. He lets the dry land appear, though the appearance of it is not owed to anyone or anything apart from Him allowing it to be so. Not only in Genesis but even in Job 38 God Himself speaks to Job of the water's creation by stating "Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed." How immense the Creator's hands must be, incomprehensibly powerful to control invisible atoms and molecules to every whim of His command. My mind has yet to mature, my heart not yet fully melted, to comprehend such a magnificent God. Only fragments are revealed to such a sinner as I but I do so desire to some day truly look into such beauty. I believe His sovereignty is something I will/should always be able to look back on in dark times of mine. Hoping that my eyes to see and ears to hear of His attributes may grow that I may worship Him in Spirit and in truth. More as of late I do believe I must cling unto it all the more...
