God is in the Details
God is in the Details
A morning greeting – a God-given sunrise that was almost too beautiful for words. 
Magnificent shades of oranges, yellows, blues, and purples blended together perfectly to light up the morning sky with their brilliance.
No human artist can even come close to painting a masterpiece like this one.
God is in the details of creation.
Wait! Take a picture of that!
Mesmerized for a moment, I forgot we had someplace to go.
Lord, we praise You for Your beautiful sunrises
that bear witness to Your holy signature.
In the following verse from Romans 1, the Apostle Paul taught the Gentiles (and all of us by extension) that there is no excuse for denying that God exists.
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse. – Romans 1:20, (NASB).1
The handprints of creator God are all over His creation. His divine power is so clearly seen that no one has an excuse not to believe.
This affirmation is available to all – even those who live in the deepest jungles in the world.
God is invisible, and His attributes or characteristics can only be seen indirectly. This is achieved through God’s creation, through His intervention in human history, and through His revealed Word. This revealed knowledge of God is evident and undeniable. – Bob Deffinbaugh, pastor and bible study teacher.2
Every Little Detail
We can easily get caught up in the “beauty” of creation itself, but we can’t let it distract us from worshipping the One who made it.
To God be all the glory!
We can only stand back in awe, and thank Him for His goodness.
M.S. Lowndes wrote a wonderful poem called “The Beauty of Your Creation.”
As her poem beautifully illustrates, we should never lose our sense of wonder over what God has done.
The Beauty of Your Creation
Lord, I marvel at your creation,
Such beauty to behold,
For you can be seen in all you’ve made
And in each regenerate soul
For you are truly magnificent,
And I stand back in awe
At each small, but significant detail
Of your created works, O Lord
For the beauty your creation unveils,
Keeps me truly amazed,
But so much more than all of this,
It is you, Lord, who I praise.
