Designer and Creator

Pastor Gary Oser

All of creation points to the Creator. When having my devotions in the morning, I often look out the patio door and notice the different colors of green in the leaves of the trees. I also hear the birds excitedly singing as they welcome a new day. I am reminded of God as Creator. I praise Him for the beauty and sounds of His creation.

I am currently reading a book entitled, Inspired Evidence: Only One Reality by Julie Van Vett and Bruce Malone. It shares evidences of God being the Designer and Creator of our world. I would like to share one interesting account with you.

“Penguins sport a fancy tuxedo. This tuxedo allows the swimming penguin to disappear in a flash when a predator spies him. Leopard seals, fur seals, sea lions, sharks and killer whales are the main threats for penguins in water. When the penguin swims, the black side of his tuxedo is up. If a predator is swimming above the penguin and looks down, the black penguin tuxedo blends with the blackness of the ocean. If the predator is swimming below the penguin and looks down, the white part of the penguin tuxedo blends in with the light surface of the ocean, again making it difficult for the predator to spot the penguin.”

Did this just happen by chance? Certainly not! Rather, God purposefully designed the penguin for successful living in the water. Penguins give evidence that there is a Designer and that Designer is none other than God.

As the Word of God says in Romans 1:20, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.”

Thank God for the evidences in nature that He clearly is the Designer and Creator of this world!
