The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.
- Psalm 19:1
We look out upon the creation: the oceans, the stars, the forests, the mountains and we wonder what, where, how, when, why . . . who? Even the least spiritual among men has been filled with wonderment. Despite eons of discovery and revelation those least spiritual are still filled with that wonderment. But their questions have been brought down to how, when, and why because the “who” has been revealed. “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?” - Job 38:4-5 Still, the least spiritual among men deny what has clearly been revealed to them. “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, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.” - Romans 1:20-21.
In how many ways has God manifested Himself to us through nature? “O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions - This great and wide sea, in which are innumerable teeming things, living things both small and great.” - Psalm 104:24-25.
Let us continually praise God that we never forget the “who” behind creation and all the wonderment of the earth.
