Creation Meditation

Here’s a meditation for you. I want to ask you to take a few minutes, quiet your mind, and meditate on these verses and words:

 

"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? [Tell me, if you understand ]…

while the morning stars sang together and all the angels  shouted for joy? “ Job 38:4,7

 

The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

Pro 3:19

 

 

 "The LORD possessed me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old. 

Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. 

When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water.  Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth, 

before he had made the earth with its fields, or the first of the dust of the world. 

When he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, 

when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, 

when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,  then I was beside him, like a master workman, and I was daily his  delight, rejoicing before him always,  rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the children of man. ..” Pro 8:22-31

 

“While the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy.”

 

Can you picture that? Take a few moments to imagine and envision that reality.

 

That’s what was happening while God created the earth. Wisdom was with Him. Like a beautiful woman, in whom He was delighting, and who was “rejoicing before Him always, rejoicing in His inhabited world and delighting in the children of man.”  Delighting in us!  In you and I!

 

Imagine beautiful Wisdom dancing around God, rejoicing in what He was doing, as He was shaping all the earth, sea, sky—then all the creatures---Birds.  Butterflies [how she must have laughed in delight].

The sounds and sights of the seashore—[how she must have embraced Him in joyful gratitude].  All the while the morning stars were singing; and the angels were shouting joyfully.

And He created us—man and woman.  And said it was “very good”.  And she, Wisdom, delighted in us—like a mother delighting her children.

 

In Christ Jesus, we re-enter Paradise. The curse is broken. Heaven is open to us. Here and now.

Let us love each other and rejoice with God, the angels and Wisdom. We are free. We have been delivered from all the dark and oppressive forces of evil. Jesus is our Light, our Salvation, our Redeemer, and our Friend. He is with us always, even to the end of the age. We abide in Him. And He has overcome the world!

 

Let this eternal Truth settle so deeply into the very bones of your soul that Satan will never be able to cause you, even for a moment, to forget it.
