Sometimes, I wish that the world was different. There are some things which, if we could, we would change. There’s a sense in which we are saying to God, couldn’t we just do this better? Have you ever imagined what the world would be like if you had created it?
Psalm 19 speaks about the fact that the Spirit of the Creator is evident in His creation.
‘The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.’ (Psalm 19:1)
One result of my reflection was this short poem, written in 2012.
If I were the creator god
How different things would be!
The hills, the sea, the open sky
The things which creep and swim and fly
The who, the what, the where, the why
The gardens, flowers shrubs and trees
And every thing your eye perceives
The things we sense or feel or see
Would echo not of Him, but me.
If I were the creator god
How different things would be!
