But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you.

jOB 12:7-8 esv

God Revealed in Creation

How do you see God revealed in creation?

As the verses of Job tell us, even the animals know this, as do the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea. The heavens proclaim the glory of God, after all, displaying His truth, proclaiming Himself. We, all of us, everything He created, are His offspring, and He holds us in His hands. 

And why does He do this? As Paul preaches in Acts, it is so that we might seek Him, so that we might reach out for Him and find Him…for He is not far from any of us. The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.  And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for “‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said,” ‘For we are indeed his offspring (Acts 17:24-28 ESV). He is here. God is right here. Will you reach out your hands and rest in His presence, today? 

In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.

Job 12:10
