No Excuse

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and 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: 20 (NLT)

Each time I look out over the mountains, I'm reminded of the God who created all things. It brings to mind Romans 1: 20. How can one not believe in God when they look at creation? Scripture says we have no excuse for not knowing God. From the majestic mountains to the vast oceans, we clearly see Him in the things He has made. Life itself is a miracle, and the complexity of the human body and how it works certainly did not happen by accident. All creation shouts the existence of a Divine Creator.

Autumn has arrived in all it's glory here in the mountains. What a treat it is! Each day when I look outside, the woods are bursting with marvelous colors. The orange, red, and yellow-hued leaves brighten even the dreariest rainy day.  The drive down the mountainside is breathtaking. Again, it serves as a reminder of the God of the universe. It just makes sense. All the theories that science has come up with to explain creation just don't make sense. Life is too intricate and fascinating to be accidental. It's mind boggling to think about how a baby forms into a beautiful human life practically from nothing. Again, we clearly see God at work. He is visible in the wildlife, plants, and flowers. We see His workmanship in the sun, moon, and stars. The skies proclaim His glory. 

As the beauty of the autumn season unfolds, I pray you will pause from the busyness of daily life and all the distractions it brings, and reflect on the marvelous creation outside your window. Take some time to be still and remember God, the Divine Creator, who made all things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small.
