God Is Creator

"I have made the earth, and created man on it. I--My hands--stretched out the heavens, and all their host I have commanded."

Isaiah 45:12

Many times God identifies Himself in scripture as the God who created all things, and thus He has supremacy over all things that were, are and will ever be.  It is strange to me, bizarre even, when professing believers deny this foundational and simple fact of God's character by ascribing to Darwinian evolution as an explanation for the origin of man, the earth or the universe.  God says He is the Creator also says He is the LORD, a Saviour and King.  In allowing His status as Creator to be undermined, all the rest can tumble along with it.  Either God created the feathers and behaviours of ducks, geese and eagles to be different from one another, or we must credit the blind, dumb chance of evolution.

God often told His people to remember what He had done, and in remembering His work in creating the world and birthing the nation Israel from slavery in Egypt was a boon to their faith in present trials.  Since God is able to say, "Let there be light!" and there was light, He can shed light on the darkest circumstances we may face.  Hear the word of the LORD in Isaiah 45:5-8:  "I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, ⁶ that they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other; ⁷ I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.' ⁸ "Rain down, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness; let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together. I, the LORD, have created it."

During our lives on earth we will encounter many ideas and notions that vie for rule over our lives.  God is the LORD in truth, yet man can be content to serve lesser gods--even himself.  Men have given themselves over to the praise of men; some have committed themselves fully to an art form, sold out for money or the pursuit of various pleasures and power.  Many bow down before the god of evolution as the cause of the diversity in living things, glorifying the creature over the Creator.  God gives every person, based on considering the evidence with rational minds He has provided us, the opportunity to decide He is indeed the Creator who does these things, or He is not really the LORD He claims to be.

Since God has stretched out and commands the host of heaven, how humbling it is He would reveal Himself to us as our Creator, the God unlike any other:  He forms the light and creates darkness, makes peace and creates calamity.  He does all these things and accomplishes His divine purposes which are glorious, resulting in salvation and righteousness.  God sent His only begotten Son Jesus for the express purpose of redeeming mankind and giving us eternal life Darwinian evolutionary processes cannot observe, provide or promise.  If you believe God is the LORD of all, why deny He created all things like He said?
