“He existed before everything else began, and he holds all creation together.” Colossians 1:17 NLT
History began with God’s creative force. For his purposes He created all that is in the universe. He established what we call the laws of nature and physics so that the universe would be ordered and not chaotic. God gave us time, days, and seasons so we would have renewing cycles. He gave us form and spirit. And then He placed us as masters and caretakers of the world!
I may not be able to manage all of Earth’s conservation, but each day I am given the task of caring for one of its occupants. Just as we can assume that somewhere in history domesticated dogs and humans found some aspects of living easier, or more enjoyable, by co-existing, I find life to be rewarding by nurturing a bond with this particular animal I have named Famous.
The thought, therefore, does not escape me that out of all the time the world has known, and out of all the creatures that have ever existed and have yet to be born, God has placed in the same moment both dog and master. Hurtling through intergalactic space, Famous and I are both hanging out of the planet’s window with cosmic winds blowing our ears back! A unique moment. A unique gift.
I will worship You, Lord of all, and give my best to honor the gift of your creation.
