Beautiful Love

Exodus 37:11 Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.  
 
IN a conversation with a chemist, he mentioned how his work helped him to know the wonder of Psalm 119:64 The earth is filled with your love, O Lord; teach me your decrees. How do chemistry reveal God’s earth-filling love?
     My friend talked of the seemingly endless chemical combinations that create all of life and vast variety of minerals and soils worldwide. Through this “chemistry lens”, the chemist sees and praises the wonder of God’s love filling the earth with his creative genius.   
     The Bible’s Spirit-inspired words display God’s Vast creativity. Consider how God used wood and metal structures to glorify his name. His instructions guided Noah to build with primitive tools an extraordinary ark. God’s design was a strong sanctuary to protect Noah, his family and the animals from judgment. This was true of the tabernacle, as well. This wood, cloth and metal construction would endure for many years. Following God’s instructions, Israel’s craftsmen such as Bezalel created a beautiful, durable sanctuary. The furniture, the Ark of the Covenant, the poles, the altar, the curtains, the Basin and all items were formed from beautiful acacia wood, bronze and gold. God essentially declared his fatherly love for his people as he filled the tabernacle with his presence.
     Yes, the earth is filled with God’s love. From minerals, to the sea, to the plants, to the animals, to mankind’s magnificent mind and to the earth’s extraordinary beauty, God lovingly offers this extraordinary home to you. Thank him for your home and the land around you. All that you have comes from an earth filled with God’s glory.
