\"BeautyWhen I went to graduate school I camped across the United States\u00a0from Pennsylvania to get to California, taking in many of God’s wonders in the great outdoors. I viewed the Grand Canyon via a rim tour by bus and also in a small Cessna plane, camped near the base of Pike’s Peak, and more.<\/p>\n

I could only come away from these spectacular sights saying, “How can anyone say there is no God?” “How can we not attribute all this to a Creator?” I concluded that it would take more faith for me not to believe than to believe. It was like nature spoke, without words, about the great God we have.<\/p>\n

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. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. (Ps. 19:1-4)<\/em><\/p>\n

We can see who God is reflected in what He does<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is some of what I saw about God in what He made:<\/h2>\n

1) He is a great and powerful God to be able to bring all of this into being.<\/p>\n

2) He is a wise God to be able to be able to design such intricacies and coordinate it all so that it all works together.<\/p>\n

3) He is a good God to be able to bring so much beauty into being.<\/p>\n

4) He is a creative God to be able to provide so much variety.<\/p>\n

I can determine all of that about God without opening a Bible, just by looking at nature around me.<\/p>\n

For since the creation of the world God\u2019s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Rom. 1:20)<\/em><\/p>\n

Are you seeing evidence of God in what He made?<\/h2>\n

Let me encourage you as you vacation<\/a>, or even as you look out the airplane window on a business trip, to not just be in awe of what you see in the great outdoors but to stop, even for a moment,<\/p>\n

to reflect on what it tells you about our great, powerful, and wise Creator God,<\/p>\n

and then to thank and praise God for who He is.<\/p>\n

If you are on a family vacation, use these spectacles as teachable moments to point your children to God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
