In reference to the 102nd Psalm, today' passage in Hebrews 1:10 says, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Thy hands". The writer is again inspired to speak of the Son as Lord and creator. Speaking of the incarnate Son of God, the Apostle John wrote, "He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him".
The sun, the moon, the stars, the galaxies, their positions, their orbits, etc; well, they are the wonderful works of His wonderful hands. Speaking of our awesome creator, Isaiah wrote, "Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, And marked off the heavens by the span, And calculated the dust of the earth by the measure, And weighed the mountains in a balance And the hills in a pair of scales?"
The One who laid the foundation of the earth is Himself the foundation of our faith. In 1st Corinthians 3:11 we read, "For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." More than two hundred years ago, John Rippon wrote the following words to the great hymn, How Firm a Foundation:
Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
What a foundation is ours in the Lord Jesus Christ, the precious cornerstone of our faith!
