Soli Deo Gloria in Creation by John D. Currid

[Regi Addictissimus]

"At the beginning of Scripture, the Holy Spirit through the prophet Moses introduces us at once to God in the essential fulness of his being. All prefatory matter is excluded: it is to God, and God alone, that we are brought. It is he who is the subject of the Hebrew creation account. We hear him, through the divine revelation, penetrating earth’s silence, shining into the primordial darkness, with the sole intent of creating a sphere in which he might display his sovereignty, incomparability and power. And he makes himself known through these works of his creative will: ‘The heavens are recounting the glory of God, and the works of his hands are being declared by the expanse’ (Ps. 19:1)."
