Revelation through Creation

We took a walk today to two waterfalls in a National Park on the outskirts of my town. The weather was wonderful, lovely, and warm, and it was so refreshing to plunge into the icy cool water after a hike in the midmorning heat! As we were walking through the mountains, I was just reminded again of the words in Romans 1:18-20, which we had tackled in Bible Study this week:

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 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.

Hectic! But so true! I mean, how can one look at the amazing and awesome mountains, oceans, animals, trees, rocks etc. and think that all this is the product of randomnity? It's just all so mindblowing!! Especially when you remember that this God who's created EVERYTHING is the God who loved you enough to send Jesus here!!

O Lord my God

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
consider all the works thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
thy power throughout the universe displayed:

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!

And when I think that God his Son not sparing,
sent him to die - I scarce can take it in,
that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
he bled and died to take away my sin:

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
and take me home - what joy shall fill my heart!
Then shall I bow in humble adoration,
and there proclaim, my God, how great thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
How great thou art, how great thou art!

How GREAT our God is! YAY!

PS Hey, look my title rhymes!
PPS What a boring post!! I feel as if my words are so inadequate to describe the beauty of the area we found ourselves in, and the spontaneous humble adoration and praise it made me feel towards our Father.
