God at work!

ROMANS 1:20 From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities -- his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.

Does anyone have an excuse for not believing in God? The Bible says, emphatically NO! God has revealed what He is like in and through His creation. Every person, therefore, either accepts or rejects God. Do not be fooled. When the day comes for God to judge your response to Him, no excuses will be accepted.

You ask how a loving God could send anyone to hell. God has revealed Himself plainly to all people and yet people reject even the basic knowledge of God. Also, everyone has an inner sense of what God requires, but they chose not to live up to it. Put another way, people’s moral standards are always better than their behavior. If people suppress God’s truth in order to live their own way, they have no excuse!

During this time of year, look around you. How many times did you see something so beautiful you could not understand it all? God at work. Nature shows us a God of might, intelligence, and intricate detail; a God of order and beauty; a God who controls powerful forces.

God is mostly a God of love, forgiveness, and the promise of eternal life.

Psalm 19:1-6 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.

4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.

5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

We are surrounded by fantastic displays of God’s craftsmanship – the heavens give dramatic evidence of His existence, His power, His love, and His care. To say that the universe happened by chance is absurd. Its design, intricacy, and orderliness point to a personally involved Creator. As you look at God’s handiwork in nature and the heavens, thank Him for such magnificent beauty and the truth it reveals about the Creator.

Begin today to give your devotion and worship to Him.
