But that's where you are wrong. In my opinion, this is one of the most overlooked stories in the bible. We seem to minimize this marvelous event, when in fact we should hold it even higher. This is the story of how we came to be! How God made us!
What gets me most is how much effort had to be put in on God's part: He didn't break a sweat, He didn't even lift a finger! He merely spoke and the world came into existence, the cosmos were created! No big deal for God. This just shows how mightly and powerful our God is.
But it also shows how small we are. This is were the humbleness part of the post comes in. It's is so easy for us to make ourselves into something so big, like we are the most important, like we're the ones that need exhaulted. We tend to put God in a box of sorts. Store Him away until we need Him because we're okay and we can do just fine by ourselves. That couldn't be farther from the truth.
We need to realize that God isn't some small thing that can be smothered and put away. He is bigger than we could ever imagine. Think back to the creation story: it was so easy for God to create us, how easy would it be to destroy us? But the God of the Universe loves us and chooses to dwell in us all. He paid the ultimate price for us and just wants our love in return. He wants to have an eternal, never ending relationship with us.
So shouldn't we give Him more credit? Shouldn't we be lifting Him up instead of ourselves? The next time that you get a big head about something or take all the glory for your talents, remember who created you and gave you all those talents. Maybe you'll be like me, and start to see things in a different light.
Psalms 71:14
But as for me,
I will always have hope;
I will praise you more and more.
