We experience and come to know God through Scripture. Another place we come to know Him is through His creation.
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
Romans 1:20 NASB
Let them praise the name of the LORD, For He commanded and they were created. 6 He has also established them forever and ever; He has made a decree which will not pass away. 7 Praise the LORD from the earth, Sea monsters and all deeps; 8 Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His word; 9 Mountains and all hills; Fruit trees and all cedars; 10 Beasts and all cattle; Creeping things and winged fowl;
Psalms 148:5-10 NASB
“For you will go out with joy And be led forth with peace; The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, And all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Isaiah 55:12 NASB
In this chapter, Elihu provides similar thoughts. The modern marvel of God’s atmosphere, weather patterns, and carefully designed creatures testify to the power of His hand. His creation glorifies Him! All we need to do in order to be reminded of His providence and power is to go look outside.
In times of suffering and grief, pain and distrust, we often need to have tangible reminders of God’s power. Sometimes I catch myself just gazing at the incredible detail of a secluded forest, in awe of His amazing glory. It’s so easy to go about our day and completely miss it! Don’t miss it today.
