No. 2
Do you not think we live in a wonderful world? Could you tell the names of all the trees, plants, animals, or insects there are? Could anyone count the beautiful stars at night, or tell how the sun and the moon give us light? Men dig in the earth and bring out gold, silver, and stones of great value to us. And from the deep waters of great seas they find strange plants and great fish. Everything we use or eat is in some way taken from the earth.
How did all come here? No one could answer our question, except that God has given us a Book which tells us. The name of this book is the Holy Bible, and there we learn that there has always been a Wise and Holy One whom we cannot see, God, the Father, and always with Him has been His beloved Son, and the Holy Spirit. They planned and made everything. It is by Their great power we now live. How great and wise and holy are they! Our words cannot tell you, but we may be very happy to know that God’s love is for everyone in all the world, and when we read the Bible it is the voice of God speaking to us.
“All things were made by Him (The Son of God) and without Him, was not anything made that was made.” John 1:33All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:3).
“Ah Lord God! behold, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for Thee:.... the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of Hosts is His name, great in counsel, and mighty in work.” Jer. 32:17, 18, 1917Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: 18Thou showest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name, 19Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings: (Jeremiah 32:17‑19).
