A worldview is all encompassing to the human being. It determines the very actions, thoughts, and motives of a person. A personal worldview is not unchangeable or unalterable, but an individual cannot escape the grip and impact of a worldview; thus, it ought to be studied and examined so that it can be better understood. As a people, we should seek to comprehend why we believe what we believe regardless if our beliefs are truly correct. Making sense of the world around us, ourselves, and our purpose in this world is all done through our worldview. It answers the four main questions of life regarding our nature, our world, our problem, and our end as humanity. As I have reflected upon my worldview and what it means to me, I have not only come

Within every person is the underlying thought and desire to know exactly where we came from and who we are. The question of our nature begins with creation; this is also where my worldview begins. Genesis 1:1 states, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” In order to know our nature, we must understand the nature of the One by whom we were created. God reveals Himself both through His creation and through His Word; we see Him through the stunning strokes of color in the Oklahoma sunset and also through the faint whisper of His Spirit through Scripture.

The God so far above us combines the supernatural world with the physical world in a way that we see Him. Within the physical world, we get to know God through the things He has created. God came to earth in the form of Jesus Christ, but at the same time, He is still so high above the world itself. God is so far outside our realm of understanding; yet, through His beautiful grace, we are able to see Him in the world we live. He holds our world within His hand and everything goes according to His plan. Our world is the creation of God, meaning this world and everything in it is His; everything that happens in this world is by His doing. In Psalm 95:4, it states, “In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.” This world is the Lord’s and all that is in it; this is a foundational truth within my Christian worldview. Everything from the clouds in the sky to the smallest dust particle on the ground belongs to God and was created by Him. He is the founder and
