Genesis 1:31 - Additional Comments

He did not just create the surface, but the bowels of the earth with all its rich minerals and metals, and the molten lava core. Remember all the detail of how the elements exist, with the atom and its center, and all the balance of molecules, how they join to form crystals, and other structures. And all the forces - gravity, electromagnetism, molecular, etc. And how light works as both a wave and a mass. Amazing balance, amazing complexity. The balance of matter, and with that the balance of nature. Also, the balance of all what makes a human body work, as the various systems work together - nervous (including the brain!), skeletal, muscular, etc. And the senses that help us communicate with the world around us. And in addition, He created the souls of men.
It was by wisdom that God made His creation - it was ever present, and guided Him as He worked (Prov 8:12,22-30).
If God created all this, shouldn't we marvel at Him, and find out who He is and what He wants of us?
