God's love for us

So last night @PastorTasherC3 at #C3 experience was talking about spending time with God and just listening. 

This morning I was praying and considering the incredible love God has for us.  It got me to pondering the beginning like I posted about in my post of January 15th.

Genesis 1:2 says...

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

Science says the universe started with the big bang. As it expanded and cooled, stars formed; galaxies formed then planets formed.  Our little planet cooled and began revolving around the sun.

There is one glaring difference between the two.   Genesis says God created the heavens and the earth THEN said "let there be light".  Look, it says darkness covered the deep.  No light.

Genesis 1:3...

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

God brought light. Now, I don't know about you but when God says something, I can't imagine some wimpy little reaction.  What I envision is something like an atom bomb going off but to the nth degree.  That would certainly qualify as a "big bang" so science and the Bible agree (one again I'm no expert, just my opinion.

After that, the sun, moon and stars were created for the benefit of US! You may wonder what purpose stars might have to benefit n us. Some clear night, go out away from the city lights and look up. It will fill you with awe. God created beauty for us even in the night sky.

This all comes back to the immense love God had for the culmination of his creation.  I never considered before how God PLANNED everything with man in mind. The creation who would be in God's own image. God didn't just wait to make the best for last. He began the whole creation with us in mind.  That is immense love. All this, our planet, solar system, our galaxy and the whole universe was created for us. 

Which would you rather believe?

Will you believe all this just happened and we are lucky to have started on this planet?  OR
that God made all this just because He wanted a beautiful place for His children?

Personally I believe that my heavenly Daddy loves me that much.
