The Creator and His creation

A mild October 2023 morning, during my daily devotions, praising God for who He is. I remembered a time when I was a little girl asking my paternal grandmother, “Granny, who made God?” She replied, “thinking about those things will make you go mad.” As grandmothers do, with concern for their grandchildren – smile.

Today, some fifty-odd years later, I saw that because we are created beings, we think in limited ways. Housed in a physical body, we live by what we see, feel, smell, taste and touch; in other words our senses. We are time conscious human beings. Eat, sleep, wake up, school, work, marriage, children, hobbies, activities, fame, death – all have time frames.

Such a question, we can never answer for He, The Creator is infinitely beyond our comprehension. Take a look at the galaxies, the stars, the solar system all contained within His Universe. Stare in awe and wonder at this planet earth He created for us which we share with as many as 8.7 million different forms of life (The Guardian 23 Aug 2011). Marvel at how our human bodies are made up and its renewal day by day.

My granny was right. We simply need to enjoy ALL that He has created and leave that question well alone.
