Skies over the Chapel this evening... "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament displays His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard..."(Psalms 19)
Nature, in all its grander and glory, has its LIMITS. The creation itself is LIMITED because it cannot explain who God is nor can it declare the gospel of His redeeming grace... it can only declare His glory.
It takes people telling people about the love and mercy of our Creator, and the grace of His Christ, and the wonders and wisdom of His Cross, along with the beautiful truths He's unveiled in His message to the believers, for this world to ever have even the slightest possibility of knowing Him personally.
Sometimes we have to remind ourselves of this precious privilege... You see, my friends, our praise is specific... it's not a general revelation, like the heavens, that simply declares the glory of God, our praise manifest, and specifically declares and demonstrates who we serve and worship. It describes and declares His gospel of grace. Glory!!!
So, don't let the beauty of our world get in the way of you knowing Him more intimately or fulfilling your responsibility to make Him known. Creation speaks of a Creator but we get to speak for and about Him and His matchless grace... don’t get tripped up with the adventure and reverse that order. Blessings, your friend, Nick.
