"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge." (Psalm 19:1-2).
Thoughts:
Everyone likes to play in the waterfalls, but you should be intensely careful in the waterfall environment. the sudden impact of the frigid water can cause temporary paralysis that could lead to drowning. However, admiring a rushing waterfall reminds us we are not accidents, and our God is incredible! He designs it in what we call a natural wonder.
If we are to question why did God create the world? The answer would be like rushing waterfalls, mighty and strong; God created the world for his glory. And let's establish the fact why?
Points:
Love: is an essential part of life. Valentine's Day is Day celebrates romantic love; love makes life more meaningful. And without love, life can be ruinous. Genesis narrated is dependent upon a consistent God's love. In six days, God created day, night, stars, the sun, the moon, land, plants, and creatures of all shapes and sizes. (Genesis 1). A book by (Michael Lodahl, p 52). “The Biblical testimony proclaims that God is the creator of all things, the Maker of heaven and earth.” He is not subject to the beginning everything begins in God and through God. (Gen 1). “In the beginning God.” The best part is he created man and woman to care for his magnificent and large-scale creation (Genesis 1:26). In these acts, we can see God demonstrated immense love.
Grace: In the creation accounts of Genesis 1 and 2—the very beginning of all that is—we see the first glimpse of God's grace. Grace is a constant reminder of what is all around us! Grace means God's undeserved favor and just looking at creation makes us think of the enormity of what God did in creating our world. Creation is grace! And that is because, in Christian teaching, | "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening and morning—the sixth Day" (Gen 1:31).
Creation is an act of sheer divine generosity. Out of nothing, and not for any reason but only from love and for love, God, the "maker of heaven and earth" (as the creeds put it), creates the world we live in so that we may live and flourish with freedom and joy. God's lavish generosity, goodness, and blessing in our relationships so that we might respond to God and correspond with God.
Holiness: The first time the word "holy” appears in the Bible is in Genesis 2:3, where God "blessed the seventh day and made it holy." Then in Exodus 3:5, when Moses encounters God out of the burning bush, "...; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground." The holiness of God is what drives and limits His revelation of Himself to His creation. Scripture is consistent. Holiness is God's fundamental nature, and that unique nature so permeates what God is and does that no action or thought from the Godhead can override it.
to extend his love to his creation, God created Humanity (Adam & Eve)
to rule over his creation (Gen 1:26). Humanity was designed not just to oversee God's creation but also to have an intimate relationship with God; so to speak, we know what happens next because of man's rebellion against God, the holiness wrapped around the connection was broken (Sin entered to the word), but because of His holiness, he intends to fix what was broken it's His Holiness that keeps the world from should we say turning around to bring back to its original access as it is designed as of his cosmic covenant a book by (Dr. Dick Eugenio, p. 9). Grace and Salvation, God is the center of creation, and no creature must assume God's place; moreover - God also cares for the whole created order. Despite human corruption, God is holy, and he intends to fix the unholy things that are destroying his creation.

Genesis 1: 1-31
Conclusion:
God does not love all His creations in the same way. He has a special relationship with Humanity because we are made in the image (that we know of). But creation is dear to God as it displays who God is loving, merciful, and a giver of grace.
