Without Excuse

Through His creation, we witness His love, power, majesty, glory, wisdom, creativity, nature, beauty, and excellency.

"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 display knowledge.  There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.  Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.  In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.  It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat." (Psalm 19:1-6) Psalm 19:4 is quoted in Romans: "Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word of Christ.  But I ask: Did they not hear?  Of course they did: "Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."" (Romans 10:17-18)

People are without excuse.  Creation points to the Creator.  The world is not only functional, but also beautiful.  The testimony of creation shouts out to the whole world loud and clear that God exists and that God's Word is true.  Sadly, some people continue to stubbornly cover their ears and their eyes.  I praise God, the Creator, for who He is and for what He does!  Let's take the time to ponder and worship our Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.  May we never stop marveling at His wonders; may we never become numb or blind to His revelation of glory through His creation!

I'm right with you. I love verses like this -- they are what inspired me to be a scientist. I love discovering more about our Creator by exploring His Creation.

Blessings & thanks so much for your prayers! I think the worse is over, just clean up & lack of power & water to use but not in the streets.

I marvel at His creation and wonders, but mostly at Him, the Creator! How marvelous is this photo revealing His Glory! How excellent are all the scriptures you have chosen! How true your words, "there is no excuse"...but far too many walk around blind or denying all that we witness & marvel. He is Glorious and greatly to be praised!

Thanks so much for adding your self to my MISSION blog. I did not know that you were from there. So glad that you shared.

Let us delight in His Spirit & all His creation! Let us be thankful for all we have the privilege to see, accept and understand through His Word! EnJOYing WFW!

Hello once again, thanks to the visit.
We're here in the South of Thailand and many fruits and vegetables too.
I'm not sure if it has fruit like that in Bangkok. (the fruit you are referring in my blog)...
Anyway, have a blessed day!
