"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." Psalm 19:1
"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." Romans 1:20
There is a handwritten note in my Bible. It is a statement my dear husband made while teaching a class on Genesis many years ago.
"The nature of God is seen in what He created."
I think of this every time I see something awesome in nature. What I am seeing is just a hint of the beauty of God, a glimpse of His glory, a reminder of his Presence with us in this earthly realm.
My heart can easily be filled and overwhelmed by just this small bit of God's nature. What must it be like to behold Him face to face like Moses did?
As God continues the work He began in my heart so many years ago, I am humbled and grateful. I understand the need to be stretched by adversity. I want to be enabled to contain as much of Him as I can.
And I want to overflow into the lives of others.
