He who built all things is God.

A.W. Pink in his book The Doctrine of Revelation sites that, the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews indulged in no mere poetic rhapsody when he wrote,  "For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God. Hebrews 3:4
“The thoughtful observer must feel that in the heavens there is not only a testimony to a Creator, but a partial revelation of His character and attributes.  Such a work and workmanship not only reveal a Workman, but hint what sort of workman He is.  For example, as no bounds have ever been found in the universe, it is natural to infer an infinite Creator.  The vast periods discovered by astronomy suggest His eternity.  The forces of the universe displaying stupendous power, bespeak His omnipotence.  Waste, everywhere going on and needing perpetual resupply, demands omnipresence. The exact proportion and wise adaptation of every part to each other, and of all to the great whole, tell of omniscience, which includes both infinite knowledge and wisdom.  The Being who survives and guides all the changes of this universe must Himself be immutable; and He who lavishes upon His work such wealth of splendor and variety of beauty must be both infinitely rich in resources and versatile in invention.  So also the universal harmony by which the whole mechanism is regulated, indicates a character of infinite perfection in harmony with itself. Thus, seen from no higher point of view than the scientific and philosophical, the dome of the sky bears, wrought on its expanse, in starry mosaics, ‘There is a God’” (The Gordian Knot)

 Psalm 104:14* He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the service of man, That he may bring forth food from the earth, 15 And wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face shine, And bread which strengthens man’s heart.
