“The
heavens declare the glory of God...day after day they pour forth
speech...their words (go out) to the end of the world.” Psalm
19:1-4
“We're already
totally in the presence of God. What's absent is awareness. God is
maintaining us in existence with every breath we take. As we take
another, it means that God is choosing us now and now and now. We
have nothing to attain or even learn. We do, however, need to
unlearn some things.” --Richard Rohr
“For since the
creation of the world, God's invisible qualities—His eternal power
and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from
what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” --Romans 1:20
I recall one particular
day in Northwest Arkansas where I used to live. I was on a walk with
God when my gaze was drawn upward to a flock of geese in formation,
the tip of their flying arrow aimed at the South in anticipation of
the upcoming Winter months.
As I watched and
considered in simple amazement, the God-ordained system and
organization with which those simple creatures instinctively knew,
not only when but exactly how to migrate—and where—elated me.
“What a God!” This simple act of nature resonated so strongly
with my own spirit that day, in that one little moment in time. “How
could someone witness this and not believe in You as Creator?”
“The heavens declare
the glory of God...His invisible qualities are clearly seen, being
understood from what has been made.”
Look around you. See
all that God has created, and listen to the proclamation of who this
Creator is. What do you hear?
