The creator God.

The first verse of the bible says

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth........Gen:1:1

well it has to be that serious that god chose to put that as the first verse of his word. that means if i dont accept the fact that our god is the creator god, i dont have any business with whatever is written after that
is it true?
well for me this was just like any other verses in the bible.after today i have realised that its one of the major verses in the Word. just like john.3.16, 1 john.3.16 or phil 4.4

today being a hartal day we a group of docs from st. john's hospital kattappana decided to explore the beauty of nature.
in kerala hartals have become part and parcel of the people here, just like Onam or christmas. it has become a national holiday where you can sit and relax. well this was one way of relaxing for us outside our normal mundane schedule of OPs and procedures

we set of early in the morning
led by a stalwart in this field, dr. james and my senior colleague dr. cherian

led by the team leaders

our destination was approximately 7 kms away... for me 7 km walk is like around the world in eighty days...phew.

but the beauty of the nature i was about to see kept me on.

two views of the hill we were trying to assail

as we went on James sir ( an old Bsc Botany turned ENt surgeon) and Joy chechi (a well known agriculturalist turned dentist) kept on bombarding us with their knowledge about the flora and fauna of mettukkuzhy and karuvakkulam

Dr. James with one of his tree ferns

iruthalamuri or twin headed snake. it was alive

coffee shrubs with coffee beans

a dead squirrel

cardamom shrubs

The rocks have been placed at the right places by Him alone

it is easy for us to see this as happened just like that or by coincidence
but the bible says

Psalms:8:3:
when i consider your heavens
the work of your fingers
the moon and the stars
which you have set in place

Psalm:102:25
in the beginning you laid the foundation of the earth
and the heavens are the work of your hands

Isaiah 40:26
Lift your eyes and look to the heavens
who created all these
He who brings out the starry host one by one
and calls them each by name
because of his great power and mighty strength
not one of them is missing

what god was trying to tell me was that all these have been planted there in its respective places by the all knowing god himself. if i fail to believe that im trying to fool myself and whatever is said after that is absurd. so set your basics right.

 just like job

" I know that you can do all things

no plan of yours can be thwarted.......

but now my eyes have seen you

therefore i despise myself and repent in dust and ashes" 

 

 

 

moral of the story: we have to believe in the creator god first to understand the redeemer god
