The God of heaven is constantly at work. It is by His power that vegetation is caused to flourish, that every leaf appears and every flower blooms. Every drop of rain or flake of snow, every spire of grass, every leaf and flower and shrub, testifies of God. These little things so common around us teach the lesson that nothing is beneath the notice of the infinite God, nothing is too small for His attention. (8T 260.1) MC VC

The mechanism of the human body cannot be fully understood; it presents mysteries that baffle the most intelligent. It is not as the result of a mechanism, which, once set in motion, continues its work, that the pulse beats and breath follows breath. In God we live and move and have our being. Every breath, every throb of the heart, is a continual evidence of the power of an ever-present God. (8T 260.2) MC VC

It is God that causes the sun to rise in the heavens. He opens the windows of heaven and gives rain. He causes the grass to grow upon the mountains. “He giveth snow like wool: He scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.”(Psalm 147:16) “When He uttereth His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; ...He maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of His treasures.” Jeremiah 10:13. (8T 260.3) MC VC

The Lord is constantly employed in upholding and using as His servants the things that He has made. Said Christ: “My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.” John 5:17. (8T 260.4) MC VC

A Personal God Created Man VC

In the creation of man was manifest the agency of a personal God. When God had made man in His image, the human form was perfect in all its arrangements, but it was without life. Then a personal, self-existing God breathed into that form the breath of life, and man became a living, breathing, intelligent being. All parts of the human organism were put in action. The heart, the arteries, the veins, the tongue, the hands, the feet, the senses, the perceptions of the mind—all began their work, and all were placed under law. Man became a living soul. Through Jesus Christ a personal God created man and endowed him with intelligence and power. (8T 264.1) MC VC

Our substance was not hid from Him when we were made in secret. His eyes saw our substance, yet being imperfect; and in His book all our members were written, when as yet there were none of them. (8T 264.2) MC VC

Above all lower orders of being, God designed that man, the crowning work of His creation, should express His thought and reveal His glory. But man is not to exalt himself as God. (8T 264.3) MC VC

“Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah....
Serve Jehovah with gladness:
Come before His presence with singing.” Psalm 100:1~2. (8T 264.4) MC VC

We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.” Psalm 100:3. (8T 264.5) MC VC

And into His courts with praise:
Give thanks unto Him, and bless His name.” Psalm 100:4. (8T 264.6) MC VC

And worship at His holy hill;
For Jehovah our God is holy.” Psalm 99:9. A.R.V. (8T 264.7) MC VC
