“God Himself [that] formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain (or waste), He formed it to be inhabited” (Isaiah 45:18).

God took an interest in this earth, and when He created it, He made sure that it was suitable for man and animals to live on it. As we have already seen, this earth is not very large, compared to some of the stars and heavenly bodies in the universe. In fact, if we were to try and make a model of the universe (as we know it today) large enough so that the earth could be seen with the naked eye (say, about the size of a grain of sand), the earth itself would not be big enough to hold the model. Yet God took an interest in this world. He not only fitted it for man, animals, and plants to live on, but He is using it as part of His plan to honor and glorify His beloved Son.

Why did God not use a bigger planet on which to create man, animals, and plants? Why did he pick this earth, which is not that big, compared to some other planets? He has not told us, and we must be content to recognize that God may choose to do things the way He sees best. He has not told us why He did everything in a certain way.

However, I would suggest that perhaps there is at least one good reason why God picked this earth on which to place man. God knew that man would disobey the one command He gave him, and bring sin into this world. As a result, man would give up God, become very proud, and for many years would think that he and his earth were at the center of the universe. But the more man has learned about the universe, the more he must realize that the earth on which he lives is only a very small place in God’s universe. Yet God has put it in just the right position so that people, animals, and plants can live on it. If man is only willing to realize it, all this only points to God Himself as the One who should be glorified. It is not man who is great, but rather the God who created this vast universe.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth His handywork” (Psalm 19:1).

It is a marvelous sight to be able to go out on a clear night and look at the sky. If you can get some distance away from a city or town, it is even better, for then the city lights do not obscure the night sky, and the stars are easier to see. In the South Island of New Zealand, authorities have established what is called the “Dark Sky Reserve,” which is a large area of 4300 square kilometers (about 1650 square miles), reserved for viewing the night sky. In this area, any artificial lighting is very carefully controlled so that the stars can be seen at their brightest. Those who are willing to make the trip there can take special tours at night to view the stars and planets.

During the last fifty years or so, man has discovered much more about the universe than was previously known, but there is still much that we do not know. But what we do know does indeed show the glory of God. We may think our earth is large, and indeed it is, but the sun is much larger. If the sun were hollow, and you began to try and fill it up by placing one earth after another into it, the sun would hold about one million earths. This means that if you were to place one earth into the sun every second, and worked for twelve hours every day, it would take you more than 23 days to fill that sun with earths!

However, there are stars in the universe much larger than our sun that warms us. There is a star called UY Scuti that is so large that it has a volume approximately 5 billion times that of the sun! Think of how many earths that star could hold! It would take more than your lifetime to fill it! Of course these measurements are not exact, as star dust and other things floating about in space sometimes make it hard to get accurate measurements, especially of stars that are thousands of “light years” away from us. (The term “light year” is used to measure distance in space, and is the distance traveled by light in a year. Since light travels at 300,000 kilometers per second (186,000 miles per second), a light year is a long way!) But all this gives us an idea of how big the universe is.

We might ask, Why did God bother to create a universe so large? What is the purpose of it, since no other star or planet has ever been found that would be suitable for people to live on? I believe that the answer is in our verse for today. God wanted to display His glory in what He created, and so He formed a universe so large and complicated that man has not yet reached the end of it. In fact, there is good evidence today that the universe is actually getting bigger!

We can understand something of God’s power and glory when we see the stars in the heavens, and realize that He created all this, simply by calling it into existence. And not only did He create it, but He maintains it, so that it functions in an orderly way. The Bible says concerning the Lord Jesus, “All things subsist together by Him” (Colossians 1:17 JND). God intended that anyone who looked at the heavens would realize that He (God) existed, and would want to know more about Him.

“He hath made everything beautiful in its time; also He hath set the world in their heart” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 JND).

Two days ago we were talking about how you and I were made in the “image and likeness of God,” and yesterday we saw that we were made not only for time, but for eternity. This is brought out in the verse quoted above, for the word “world” could also be translated “the infinite,” or “eternity.” Even though we are young, we can understand this, for it does not seem to matter what we have, it never seems to satisfy us for very long. If we have a new toy, we are usually very excited, and have a wonderful time playing with it. But it does not really make us happy for months and months. No, we get tired of it, and want something more, something different. Or the toy breaks, and then it does not work properly. As we get older, this desire to have more and more continues, and many people in this world spend their entire lives trying to find something more to give them pleasure. Sometimes it is getting more things like cars, boats, vacation homes, etc. Others like to travel and visit as many different places as possible in the world. These things are not sinful in themselves, but Satan can use them to take our hearts away from what is really important. For some it means trying to become famous and well-known. For others it may mean getting into a position of authority, so that they can control other people. Satan has many different ways of attracting us, for he realizes that different people want different things.

The verse quoted above was written by King Solomon, who was probably the wealthiest man that ever lived. He had everything he could want in this world, for as a king, he could use his great riches to buy anything he wanted. He had the best of food, and many servants to do for him whatever he wanted. He had beautiful gardens, fruit trees, pools of water, exotic animals and birds, and many other things. More than this, God gave him wonderful wisdom, so that people came from many different countries to hear his wisdom.

However, everyone who looks for satisfaction and pleasure down here finds out the same thing — there is nothing in this whole world that completely satisfies. Since man’s heart is made for eternity, nothing down here will fill his heart, whether we are young or old. Even King Solomon had to say, after having all these riches, “All is vanity and vexation (irritation) of spirit” (Ecclesiastes 2:17). This simply means that having all these riches only increased his desire to have something more, and the more he had, the more he became frustrated because nothing really satisfied him. Only God Himself can fill our hearts, and make us truly happy. When we accept Christ as our Savior, we not only know that our sins are forgiven, but also have the enjoyment of Christ in our hearts. He truly fills our hearts, and satisfies!

God delights to give us the things we need to live our lives down here for His glory, and we can be thankful for good food, good clothes to wear, and houses in which to take shelter. But let us remember that the Lord Jesus said that we should not try to have our treasure down here; rather we are told to lay up our treasure in heaven.

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

In yesterday’s message, we noticed that the Lord Jesus is referred to in John 1:1 as “the Word.” This simply means that He represents everything that God is. We cannot understand God fully, for if we could, we would be gods ourselves. But we can realize through the Scriptures that God is a Trinity (a being made up of three persons), consisting of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus is the Son of God, and when God the Father wanted to reveal Himself to you and me, He sent His only Son down into this world as a man. In this way He was “made flesh,” and had a human body, soul, and spirit, just as you and I have. He was born into this world as a baby, and grew up in a family, just as you and I do. But one thing about Him was different — very different; He did not have a sinful nature, as we all do. He never told a lie, never was disobedient to His parents, never took something that was not His, never hit His younger brothers or sisters, never used bad words, or did any of the other wrong things that all of us did as children. He was perfect, because He was the Son of God.

Because of all this, He stood out among other children, and as our verse says, “was full of grace and truth.” But even though He was a real man, He was also still the Son of God, and was the One who upheld “all things by the word of His power” (Hebrews 1:3). He could tell the storm to cease, when their boat in the Sea of Galilee was filling with water. He could heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and act in every way according to His divine power.

Most of all, however, He could show us what God the Father was like. Before the Lord Jesus came, man could not really know God in a very personal way. But now the Lord Jesus has revealed the Father, and He could say, “He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father” (John 14:9). It is a most wonderful thing to know God, and we know Him because the Lord Jesus, who is God Himself, has come into this world as a man to reveal Him.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God” (John 1:1-2).

At first glance, these might seem to be difficult verses to understand. Who is “the Word,” and what beginning are the verses speaking about? However, it is not really that hard.

We are used to measuring time by years, and now we are at the beginning of another year. God has so arranged “planet earth” that a complete year has 365 ¼ days, and this has gone on for thousands of years. But in these verses, the Spirit of God is referring to someone who had no beginning.

We do not know exactly how old this earth is, for the Bible only tells us, “Of old hast Thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of Thy hands” (Psalm 102:25). When this earth was created, the Lord Jesus was there, and was the Creator of it. We are also reminded that “before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God” (Psalm 90:2). Again, this is referring to the Lord Jesus, who created this world.

In the verses in John 1, the Spirit of God is reminding us of who the Lord Jesus is — the One who is the Son of God, and thus had no beginning. In the same chapter, we read that “all things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made” (John 1:3). Anything that is made, whether it is this world, or the sun, the moon, the stars — all of it was made by Him, for He existed before anything that was made.

It is hard for us to imagine someone that had no beginning, but that is the way God is. He existed from all eternity. However, the wonderful thing is that He has made us for eternity too. We live in a world of time, where everything takes place at a certain time. But you and I were not made just for time; we were created in the image and likeness of God, and will live for all eternity! This is not only a wonderful thought, but a serious thought too. Where will we spend that eternity when we leave this world? With the Lord Jesus in heaven, or in that awful place called hell? If we know the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, we can be assured that we will spend eternity with Him in heaven.

“O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!” (Romans 11:33).

Here we are at the end of another year, and at the final meditation for our readings. It has been our prayer that all of those reading through these thoughts for the year will have found themselves to have been stretched, and to have grown a few inches (spiritually speaking). There is so much in God’s Word, and we have hardly scratched the surface of all the wonderful thoughts, plans and love-messages God has tucked throughout His book.

We cannot begin to absorb all these lovely gems He has put in the Bible for us all at once. There is an encouraging verse in Isaiah 28:10. It reads like this, “ … line upon line; here a little, and there a little.”

So as we read God’s Word, lovely and instructive thoughts come to us bit by bit. The Holy Spirit in us helps us to understand what God is teaching us from the part we are reading. It is a patient step by step learning process. And you will find that the more you read, the more desire you have to read.

When you read any other book, you come to the end and put it on the shelf, having absorbed the contents of the story, or the history in it. But with the Bible you will find that each additional time you read it, you will find something fresh and wonderful that you had not noticed before. How can that be? It is because the Bible it is an inspired book, written by God Himself. He wants to communicate with you and me! He wants to reveal who He is, and what He has done. He wishes to be your Guide and your Friend. Don’t put His special letter away in a drawer and forget about it.

May it be part of your everyday life, and may you “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand” (John 10:27-29).

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).

In the course of writing this devotional, I have referred many times to the importance of being saved, and used some warnings from Scripture to any who are not saved. But have you ever wondered if you could lose your salvation, if you were truly saved once? Some Christian groups today teach that you can be saved and then lost again. They say that if you commit a serious sin, you can lose your salvation. If we look at our verses for today, we see clearly that this is impossible. These two verses give us two very good reasons why we can never be lost again, if we are truly saved. We did speak about Romans 8:1 back in early March, but perhaps it would be good to go over this precious truth again, since it is so important.

First of all, we read in John 10 that those who have eternal life “shall never perish,” and that “neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.” This is strong language, but then it goes on to say that “no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand.” Here we have a two-fold security, in the Lord Jesus and in God the Father. How could we be let go, if both God our Father and the Lord Jesus have us in their hand? It is impossible. I have seen boys hold something tightly in their hand, and then seen other boys try to pry that hand open. Sometimes a much bigger boy can pry open the hand of a smaller boy, but no one can “pry” open God’s hand and take us away. His hand is too strong for anyone!

Then, in our second verse, we are told that we are “in Christ Jesus.” This expression “in Christ” occurs many times in the epistles of Paul, for he received this precious truth directly from a risen Christ in glory. Think of it! When God looks at you and me, He sees us in all the perfection of Christ Himself! Is the Lord Jesus Christ fit for heaven? Yes, of course. Then we are fit too — perfectly fit, for we are “in Christ.” Can God bring any accusation against the Lord Jesus? No, of course not. Then He cannot bring any accusation against us, for we are “in Christ.” When this truth gets a grip on our souls, we realize that once we are truly saved, we can never be lost again.

Sadly, if we get away from the Lord, we may lose the joy of our salvation, and then we may even question in ourselves whether we are really saved. But it is not that we need to hang onto the Lord; rather, He is hanging on to us. And He will never let us go!

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end therefore are the ways of death” (Proverbs 14:12).

“Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace” (Psalm 37:37).

We are coming to the end of the year, and in both our verses for today, that word “end” is mentioned. Yet how different the end of one man is from the other man! There are many today who are following their own way, but without looking to the Lord, or reading His Word. They are listening to the wisdom of this world, and that way seems right, but it is really the way of death. The Bible tells us that “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23), and this means not only death to the body, but eternal death in that awful place called hell. We are all subject to death because “all have sinned” (Romans 3:23), but those who refuse God’s offer of mercy through the Lord Jesus will experience eternal death, although they will exist for all eternity.

Our second verse today speaks about “the perfect man,” and we might think that this means that those who live what they consider “a good life” in this world will go to heaven because of their good life. But this is not what the verse means. Often in the Bible the word “perfect” has the thought of being mature, or full-grown, and understanding the things of God. No one is ever perfect before God in himself, for the only perfect Man who ever lived was the Lord Jesus. But after we have accepted the Lord Jesus as Savior, we can live for God’s glory in this world. This is the result of our having a desire to please the Lord. Not only will we have a perfect ending when we are taken to be with the Lord, but we will enjoy God’s peace in this world. We will be able to walk through this world in peace, and be sure of a peaceful ending down here, whether we die, or whether we are alive when the Lord comes.

“And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord … all the people shouted with a great shout … because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house … wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy” (Ezra 3:10-12).

Perhaps you have heard the term “generation gap” used sometimes, referring to how young people often think differently from their parents or grandparents. This is natural, for times change from one generation to the next; new things are discovered, and new ways of doing things are invented. Here in our verses today we have a generation gap.

There were younger people who shouted when the foundation of the temple was laid, for there had not been any temple in Jerusalem for about 70 years. They were glad to see a new temple being built. But some of the older ones who had seen Solomon’s temple realized how small and insignificant the new temple was, compared to the old one. Instead of shouting, they wept, for they realized that nothing as beautiful as Solomon’s temple would be built again for them to see.

We can understand both reactions. The older ones were saddened, yet the younger ones rejoiced, and I believe that the Lord understood why each group reacted differently.

A generation gap is natural, as new generations come along. However, we must remember that the Lord does not change, and that His truth and moral principles do not change. Let us never excuse bad behavior, and behavior that dishonors the Lord, by saying that “times have changed.” When I was growing up, there were no cell phones, no computers, no jet planes, no internet, and (you will laugh at this!), not even any ball point pens. We all wrote either with fountain pens, or stick pens that we dipped into old-fashioned ink wells on our desks. Things have really changed during my lifetime!

However, I am thankful that the Word of God has not changed, nor has the Lord Himself changed. Let us be ready to accept change from one generation to another, but be thankful for the things that never change.

“Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away” (Proverbs 4:14-15).

These verses remind me of a true story that took place in England more than 150 years ago, when people went from place to place either on trains, or in carriages drawn by horses. Wealthy people usually had a coachman who drove the horses for them, while they sat inside the carriage. On one occasion a wealthy man advertised for someone to take the job as his coachman, and several men applied. When he was interviewing them, he asked each of them the same question — “How close could you drive a carriage along the edge of a cliff without dropping a wheel over the side of the cliff?” The first one said that he could safely drive with the wheels one foot away from the cliff. The second one said that he could do better, for he claimed that he could drive within six inches of the cliff without dropping a wheel over it. But the third man replied, “When I am driving a carriage under those conditions, I stay as far away from the cliff as possible!” The third man got the job. The man who was hiring the coachman was not concerned with how close to the cliff he could drive the carriage, but rather with how safe the driver would be.

It is much the same in our Christian life. Some Christians like to see how close they can come to the world around us, and to the evil in it. They want to try and get as close as possible, yet not be involved in it. But just as the coachman who drives close to the cliff runs a real risk of dropping a wheel over it, so the Christian who gets as close as possible to the evil in this world runs a real risk of falling into sin. Our old sinful nature is strong, and the only way to keep it from acting in our lives is to recognize that it deserves death. If we think we can let it work to some extent, then it may well take over and lead us into sin. It is like lighting a small fire that we think we can control, only to find out that it soon gets beyond our control. Let us not try to get as close as possible to evil; rather let us follow the instruction in our verses today, and get as far as possible from evil.
