Psalm 33:6, 8-9
Psalm 33:6, 8-9 “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him. For he spoke and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.”
I was talking with a fellow Christian at work, and he said he had just started helping with his church’s first through fifth grade Sunday School program. The memory verse for the next Sunday was Psalm 33:6, and he recited it for me.
It reminded me, as I listened, just how powerful is the Lord our God, and how gentle. He used the soft, silent breath of his mouth to set the stars in the sky. No flashing thunder. No flinging wide His arms. Just His breath to make the stars. Just His word to make the heavens.
In the first chapter of Genesis, when it describes the creation, each of the first five days reveals God saying, “Let there be...” or “Let the land produce….” And each of those ends with, “And it was so.”
But on the sixth day, God said, “Let us make man in our image.” But then it wasn’t so. Instead, “So God created man in his own image.” In Genesis 2:7, “The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”
God is so personal with us. He formed us. He touches us. The very breath of his mouth that He used for making the stars He breathed into us. His desire is to walk with us--or rather for us to walk with Him.
We are to fear Him. We are to revere Him. Is this where you are today? Let your heart wonder anew at who our God is, the majesty of His creation, and most of all His love for you.
