God laid the foundation

Psalm 102:25-27
"In the Beginning you laid the foundations of the earth,
   and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you remain;
   they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
   and they will be discarded.
But you remain the same
   and your years will never end."

This is a development and rejection of some previous ideas in the following two posts: god is fundamental origin of universe, and universe container definition of good

So, first I thought that God was the biggest thing inside the universe. Nope. That would mean that the universe was bigger than him, which means we should worship the universe, not him. He's bigger.

Second, I though he was the fundamental origin and foundation of the universe, what defined it's right and wrong, the origin on the graph. But no, that would limit God to the universe, and he's infinite.

The current model is that he laid the foundation of the earth. He is the sculptor, more powerful, loving, and creative than the earth he made. The universe, the earth, and man is simply a concentrated but only selected portion of his creativity. (Well, man is special, but besides that.) This poses God as greater than his creation, not limited to the bounds of the known universe. Just describing him as the foundation of the world defines his purpose based on the world, no the world based on him. Likewise God isn't primarily the creator of the world, he is the Creator. Period. Divine artist of infinite wisdom, righteousness, and artistic delight. Masterpiece maker. I might find it fun to call him the Masterpiecewright, as a shipwright builds ships, so he builds masterpieces.
Anyway, do not despair but overflow with peace my friends that God is so much more than this world. In fact, it is probably best not to really compare him to the world at all. He laid our foundation. Perhaps when we are with him we shall get to sit on his shoulder as he crafts many more things, painting universes with his breath, filling plants with bounteous life by the shape of his words.

This is the end of the post as I write it. I simply find it fitting to end and quote the first 3 stanzas of Job 38. It has 10 altogether. I encourage you to read it all from the hyperlink.

38 Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm. He said:
2 "Who is this that obscures my plans
with words without knowledge?
3 Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.

4 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone-
7 while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels shouted for joy?

8 "Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burs forth from the womb,
9 when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10 when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place
11 when I said, 'This far you may come and no farther
here is where your proud waves halt'?"
