Analysis of The Creator God



How manifold are your deeds,
The wisdom that made them all;
All creatures You fill their needs,
Mystifies me with such awe.

Here is the sea, great and wide,
Living things both great and small;
Creatures that flow with the tide,
Most swimming and others crawl.

Ships and Leviathan go,
Which You formed to play in it;
Where the currents and waves flow,
As the weather would permit.

All of these will look to You,
Praising You for the season;
In giving food when it’s due,
For a life as their reason.

When You give it unto them,
As You open up your hand;
Filled with good things as Your gem,
Abiding by Your command.

When You are hiding Your face,
They will become so dismayed;
Their breath taken in disgrace,
They die and become decayed.

When You send forth Your Spirit,
You form the face of the earth;
And created in merit,
Have renewed with a new birth.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
