Scripture:
The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display his craftmanship.
Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.
They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.
Yet their message has gone throughout
the earth, and their words to all the world.
(Psalm 19:1-4)
Observation:
In the same way that a painting suggest that there was a painter, the creation suggest that there is a creator. When we look at living people, beautiful animals, the sunset, moon and stars, they all point to the character of God. There is not one person on earth who is not surrounded by the canvas of God's masterpiece, creation. If you look at a computer, and how complex it is, you wonder how genius is the man who invented it, and put it together, and made it work. Now look at the human brain, how genius is God, no computer will ever be like the brain.
Application:
Probably the #1 question I get, when I tell people about Jesus, is this: "If Jesus is the only way, then what about the guy who lives on some remote island somewhere, are you telling me he's going to hell because he's never heard about Jesus." This is a good question, and the Bible here shows us that even people on remote islands see the hand of God in creation. Read this scripture from the book of Romans:
They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and the sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities- his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. (Romans 1:19-20)
Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank you for creating me. When I look at my wife and my daughter, I see the power of your hand. When I feel my unborn son kicking inside the womb, I know that you are an awesome God, the only one who can create life out of nothing. I pray for my friends, family and co-workers who are lost. In Jesus name, amen!
