God is the Creator and the Preserver of all the universe

God is the Creator and the Preserver of all the universe. He did not create it and then abandon it to go its own way, but he every moment upholds it in existence or it would immediately cease to be. All things in sky, and earth, and sea are the works of his hands and are ever under his sovereign rule.

O Creator of all things, I cannot begin to fathom the works of Your hands. Their number is so great and the wisdom they display so intricate as to be beyond my understanding. How much greater, then, must You be who made them? Each moment You uphold me in existence; my life and breath are ever in Your hands. Teach me to live in the light of these truths.
