THE MESSAGE OF CREATION

"They say they are wise, but they are fools;  instead of worshiping the immortal God,
they worship images made to look like mortals or birds or animals or reptiles."
(Romans 1:22-23 GNT)

It would be a great folly and a great tragedy if a man loved his wedding band more than he loved his bride. But that is what this passage says has happened.  Human beings have fallen in love with the echo of God’s excellency in creation and lost the ability to hear  the incomparable, original shout of love.  There is a great God of glory and power and generosity behind all this awesome universe; we belong to him; he is patient with us in sustaining our rebellious life; turn and bank our hope on him and delight ourself in him, not his handiwork.  Day pours forth the “speech” of that message to all who will listen in the day, speaking with blindingly bright sun and blue sky and clouds and untold shapes and colors of all things visible. Night pours forth the “knowledge” of the same message to all who will listen at night, speaking with great dark voids and summer moons and countless stars and strange sounds and cool breezes and northern lights

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge."
(Psalm 19:1–2 NIV).
