Psalm 19:1-2

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.

Look at the delicate and intricate patterns on the wings of a butterfly and you see God’s beauty. Observe the roaring waves of ocean beating against a beach, and you witness His power. The Lord’s sense of order is revealed in the rising and setting of the sun and the precise tilt and turning of the earth. People need to look no farther than nature to understand that God is real.

God’s revelation in nature renders those who would deny His existence inexcusable. There is no reasonable explanation for the creation of the material universe other than an omnipotent God putting it all together. The matter and fuel for the construction of such a wonder had to come from Someone. Our orderly world is the creation of an orderly God.

But nature does not give us a full revelation of God. Creation does not show the Lord’s holiness or eternity. That’s why He gave us His Word. The Bible reveals God’s character, records His laws, and explains His expectations for His creation.

In its pages, we can learn about our Father and the kind of life He wants us to lead. Scripture teaches about the living Word – Jesus Christ - who is the full revelation of God. Our heavenly Father wanted to ensure that humanity could know Him intimately. So, He sent His Son, clothed in flesh, to make Himself known.

Spend time in Bible Study and prayer to know your Father better. In His word, He has revealed Himself to us so that we can serve Him with understanding and appreciation.


Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to see you at work in nature and in your word Psalm 19:1-6
