After re-organizing and cleaning out my room on a whim today I realized how much I thrive on order, structure, and organization- and how much I enjoy implementing it. (I have no idea where this is going by the way)
Now I realize this is partially a personality thing- but I believe God has put in each of us a desire to have our lives in order, the same way He has made the universe a perfect and orderly system made up of billions of varying inner systems all running by His master design. That's the one thing I do enjoy about studying science- it reveals so much about how God cares about every infinite detail. I won't make this an argument against evolution or any other similar idea- but I know that it makes perfect sense to me that this world and the vast expanse around it was created by a Master Designer, a Creator, with a plan and purpose put into every atom and molecule. Pure chance- not to mention the billions of chance occasions that would have to have occurred for evolution to be true- just doesn't cut it for me.
Have you ever stopped to realize how beyond incredible it is that this same God- the one who shapes galaxies and orchestrates the future of every living thing from their first to last breath- has created you and me to be in intimate relationship with Him? That He wants our praise and adoration- not because He is needy and doesn't know how awesome He is- but because He has created us to thrive off of that praise and glorification of Him and draw the deepest joy imaginable from it? That He loves us- the ones who wake up every day and constantly sin against Him all day long? Lying, cheating, murderous, wrongly motivated, lazy, self-absorbed, undisciplined individuals that we are- still He wants to talk with Me every day? He will even look at me!? And with love! I can't help but be amazed.
