"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made..." Rom. 1:20

The beauty of life--each and every experience afforded by our Father's wisdom and creative power--proclaims His abundant and unfailing love! He appointed each heavenly body in perfect proportion to enable this human experience on planet Earth. Were the sun larger, the earth further or the moon smaller, it would not be possible. But we have the simple beauty of gentle breezes, the soothing shade of trees, the musical call of birds, the resplendent shimmer of water! We are sustained by His breath of Life to enjoy the work of His hands. His love might be invisible to the human eye, His nature might be unseen to flesh, but His creation bears witness to His great love and it reveals His glory even in its current fallen state.

"For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now." Rom. 8:19-22

Oh, what hope and joy I have in Christ! Creation is currently in slavery to corruption, but--praise God!--it will be set free into the glory of us, God's children! Groaning and suffering and pain will give birth to the glory of God. Knowledge of Him will pour through us and encompass the earth "as the waters cover the sea". Thank you, Jesus.
