"laid the foundations of the earth. It was His hand that hung the worlds in space, and fashioned the flowers of the field. “His strength setteth fast the mountains.” “The sea is His, and He made it.” Psalm 65:6 ; 95:5 . It was He that filled the earth with beauty, and the air with song. And upon all things in earth, and air, and sky, He wrote the message of the Father's love. DA 20.1"
"Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:"
EGW directly quotes Psalm 65:6.
"The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land."
EGW directly quotes Psalm 95:5.
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
Both passages refer to God as the creator of the earth. EGW expands on the Genesis account by listing specific aspects of creation.
"Now sin has marred God's perfect work, yet that handwriting remains. Even now all created things declare the glory of His excellence. There is nothing, save the selfish heart of man, that lives unto itself. No bird that cleaves the air, no animal that moves upon the ground, but ministers to some other life. There is no leaf of the forest, or lowly blade of grass, but has its ministry. Every tree and shrub and leaf pours forth that element of life without which neither man nor animal could live; and man and animal, in turn, minister to the life of tree and shrub and leaf. The flowers breathe fragrance and unfold their beauty in blessing to the world. The sun sheds its light to gladden a thousand worlds. The ocean, itself the source of all our springs and fountains, receives the streams from every land, but takes to give. The mists ascending from its bosom fall in showers to water the earth, that it may bring forth and bud. DA 20.2"
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
Both passages highlight God's power and glory as revealed through creation. Romans 1:20 speaks of understanding God's attributes through created things, while EGW elaborates on the interconnectedness and ministry within nature, illustrating this principle.
"That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."
Both passages discuss God's impartial provision for all. Matthew 5:45 mentions God sending rain and sunshine on both the just and unjust, while EGW describes the various elements of nature ministering to all life, reflecting a similar principle of universal provision.
