“For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.” Romans 1:20.
You don’t have to travel further than your backyard to observe the glories of creation. From the tiniest insect, to the soaring majesty of an oak tree, God’s invisible nature can be seen. The apostle Paul goes on to say that there is NO EXCUSE for not knowing him.
My husband was telling me about a conversation he had with a woman, recently. She told him that she found it hard to believe that there was a God, because of all the bad that was in the world. I’m assuming that this lady would classify herself as a Christian, which makes this comment that much sadder. Yes, there’s no denying that bad abounds, but it wasn't in God’s original blueprint. How quickly we forget that everything considered bad, wrong or evil entered the world as a direct result of man’s disobedience. Somewhere along the line we must take responsibility for our actions, and get used to the fact that we live in a sin-fallen world. The good news is, God offers us a lifestyle that enables us get through the muck and mire of reality. True, no one escapes getting “dirty” along the way, that’s just how collateral damage works, but with His help, we’ll make It through spiritually unharmed.
Open your eyes to the truth and beauty of God’s creation. Rest assured He is alive ,well and fully functioning, in spite of us! “Only fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!” Psalm 53:1.
