| God's Professions |
|
As Christians, we know that God is the creator of the heavens and the earth, darkness and light, silence and sound, the plants, the animals, the sky, the land, the sea, and all of mankind. He designed all of their characteristics down to the smallest detail. Have you ever thought about how that makes God a designer, an artist, a sculptor, a painter, a decorator, a gardener, a landscaper, an architect, a builder, a manufacturer, a composer, a hairdresser, a biologist, and a zoologist? On top of that, God made the sun, the moon, the stars, the planets, the galaxies, etc. He assigned each of them their own positions, and made them all exist together in perfect harmony - which was no small feat!! He created time, established day and night, and developed seasons, and made them work together like clockwork! (Even the seasons know just when they are supposed to change!!) And God did the same thing for our human bodies - He created each and every part, including organs, cells, and ligaments, and made them all work together in unity and in constant communication with one another. That tells us that God is a programmer, a systems analyst, an astronomer, a scientist, a mathematician, a physicist, an engineer, a doctor, a dentist, and an inventor! As the source of all wisdom, God is a teacher, a tutor, a trainer and a counselor. As the one who oversees all of human history, God is also a producer and a director, a coach and a conductor. We know from the Bible that He is also a judge and a legislator, but since Jesus is our advocate, He is also a lawyer. He is our priest, our pastor, and our commander-in-chief. And He is our heavenly Father, which makes Him a parent! God is the author of the Bible, for all 66 books of the Bible were inspired by Him. That means that God is an author and a writer! These are just a few of God's professions. There are many, many more. |
