Creator

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. Romans 1:20

When I read verse 20 of Romans 1, I am always reminded that God shows us His power every day. The continual rising and setting of the sun, the bright moon and stars at night, and the power of the oceans are reminders of the awesome God that created everything we see. I like living in this part of the country because we get to see four different seasons. The colors of the trees in the fall remind us that winter is coming but the blooms on the trees show us that the cold weather is over and the hot days of summer are coming soon. I like the fall the best for several reasons. Mostly because it is football season but also because I love to see the trees change colors. I am usually sick of the hot weather by this time so it is a welcome relief to know that cool weather is on its way. God amazes us every day with the beauty and the diversity of nature. I was reading an article last week that said astronomers had discovered possibly hundreds of new planets far beyond where we could travel to in a life time. I walk outside at night a lot and I am always amazed at the stars in the sky and it is only a small picture of the huge universe. We should all take a few nights and just walk out and look up for a while.  My son probably remembers climbing on the roof of our old house and lying on a blanket to look at the stars. I sometimes wish we still had a house with a flat roof.

The verses from Romans tell us, that even if we never heard the name of God, His power is clearly visible all around us. So, even on those mornings when we wish the sun would stay down a little longer, God is reminding us of His power and presence. The changing of the seasons reminds me that He created everything I see and just as I am getting tired of one season, He sends another to refresh me. He also says, with the evidence of His existence around us, there is no excuse for not knowing and believing in Him.

During our busy days please take a few minutes each day and look around. See all that He has created and let it remind you that He is with you all the time.
