POWERFUL CREATOR

JEREMIAH 31:35 (ABP)
This good news is from GOD,
      the one who provides the sun to light the days,
      along with the moon and stars to light the nights.
   He is the one who stirs up the ocean into tumultuous waves.

1 CORINTHIANS 8:6 (NLT)
There is one God, the Father,
   by whom all things were created,
   and for whom we live.
And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ,
   through whom all things were created, 
   and through whom we live.
