FATHER OF ALL CREATURES AND ADMINISTRATOR OF ALL
Read Psalm 104
Psalms 104:24, KJV
"O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches".
There's no one as caring for all living than God. When God created all living things: plants and animals, you'll know from His allocating a habitat and food for survival for each that He desires that all should live well. God doesn't suffer creation. He created them all and then in wisdom administers them all. No wonder the Psalmist in a mind bugling manner after seeing the orderliness of God in putting each creature where they should live and then making provision of how to live and what to feed on for sustainment for them cries out in praise of God's wisdom. What did he see? Did he see a thing at all? He said, "How many are thy works? In wisdom have you done all. The earth is full of thy riches." It wouldn't have taken wisdom to do all if not that they were many works. God is not confused despite how much they were. Despite the so many things He created and need oversee, He created all in wisdom so that all might live as if He, God is no longer present to see to their welfare. It is this wisdom that makes the earth to be in turn full of God's riches. It is just well off for the earth and all its inhabitants: men, animals or plants. What did this Psalm tell us about the many works of God's hands?
After the creation of heaven and earth. God began to fill the earth.
God send the springs into the valleys and amidst the mountains to feed both bird and beasts. It takes a thinking person to have done that. It shows God's care for all He has created. Creation or invention is not as important as maintenance. That they could all be sustained is the most important. That after creation, they didn't die of hunger and perish is what matters. As He does this, He gives rain to water the earth so there will be grass for animals and herbs for the service of men. Is that not food for the work of God's hands again? Look at what God puts in place because of His creature again. Is any father not in agreement with this? Is this not how you see to it that your children (so to say work of your hands) has wherewithal that they don't know where it's coming from to feed on for nourishment. Then, He gave trees for the shelter and housing of birds. As for the stork, the fir tree is her house. No other bird debates its housing with it. God has allocated for each. As for the wild goats, the high hills are his house. As for the conies, the rocks. You see, all of them have their places provided for them by God who didn't get confused.
This makeup of God not only takes effect on earth but rather extends to the sea. The sea is full of innumerable countless creatures that creeps. In that same big world has God placed the sea monster known as Leviathan. God created a whole habitat for him that He might play. Is this not how man thinks of his children as to create play ground for them and buy the toys that delights and aid their play? All these creatures all wait on God including man for survival. God created them to depend and take livelihood from Him. That's why "in Him we live, move and have our being" is still very important. It is God's generosity that keeps them alive. God as a super manager has created habitats, worlds and wherewithal of coping/laws of living around each so much more that God don't have to come around to apply effort to see that one lives and lives well. The rain knows its season and it rains. If that be, there'll be grasses for the beasts to eat. What God has instructed, He is not instructing again. God has ordered all in wisdom and I think this is the kind of wisdom you need to create things in your life and put them in their places. So much more that they won't conflict. Receive the power of invention for innumerable things and receive God's wisdom to order them without getting confused. This world shall not be bigger than your wisdom. You shall in truth have it under subjection and dominion.
PRAYER: Father and Creator of all creatures, I receive wisdom of creation and administration from You today. I shall live to subdue and bring profit out of the earth.
