for what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. for his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. so they are without excuse. [roman 1:19-20]
have you ever viewed something in creation that was just overwhelming in the moment? maybe it was something that reminded you just how small you were in this world; maybe it was the vibrance and beauty of a sunrise; maybe it was the birth of someone you love.
even the unrighteous, lacking in faith and knowledge, look to the heavens in awe and debate the existence of God.
how does one explain the power that it took to form the universe? to create life? or the sheer beauty and creativity to form the mountains and seas without an all powerful God?
in your moment(s), what did you consider? Where does your heart go? does your heart favor the created or get drawn to his glory?
he is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. for by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him [colossions 1:15-16]
don’t miss Jesus in the beauty.
don’t miss Jesus in the wonder.
don’t miss Jesus in the created.
