Romans 1:20 says, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse"
Wow, God's invisible attributes are clearly seen. Is that saying that the core of who God is can be clearly seen? Isn't this saying we have the opportunity to know God? Even His eternal power and Godhead. Wow, what an amazing opportunity... and we are missing it!
Can we really know Him at the core of who He is? I'm thinking of a song we used to sing, "I want to know You, I want to hear Your voice, I want to Know you Lord." I'm thinking of the many times I have put myself out there with the hope that someone will take the time to understand. Has God done that for us? Have we been given the poetry that pours forth from the very depths of God's being and not read it?
So where are His attributes clearly seen? Romans says, The things that God created give us opportunity to understand Him. His art reveals His heart. His art is everywhere! His mediums are diverse. He uses wind, and birdsong, and texture and power.
Go outside! Turn off your computer and go!!! Find a space where what He has made is visible and seek to understand it's maker. In our world packed with our own creations, look for what we can not duplicate and have not ruined. Look at the one little flower that braves it's way through a crack in the pavement. We made the pavement.... He made the flower. Are we covering up more than just the ground? Are we smudging a master piece?
Perhaps if we understood the earth as God's amazing masterpiece, we would tread more lightly on the things that He has made. Certainly we are without excuse.
