What's up, Warriors? This is Matthew Adams…today we're diving deep! You see, sometimes we're so obsessed with our phones and screens that we forget God's first screen…nature itself. The Creator of the universe often leaves us text messages in the text of His creation. Are you paying attention?
Scripture: "Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature." — ROMANS 1:20
You know the story of Brother Lawrence, a man who found God not in the high walls of a monastery but in the barren branches of a winter tree. Nature is not just a backdrop to our busy lives. It's a living, breathing sermon from God Himself. So let's break this down.
Point 1: Nature is God's Parable.
Much like Jesus used parables to convey complex divine truths, God uses nature to illustrate His gospel. Brother Lawrence saw in a barren tree the promise of resurrection and life. Each season speaks of a phase in our spiritual walk—winter might be barren, but spring is coming! How powerful is that? You see, nature can't stop preaching the gospel!
Point 2: The Grand Design Speaks of the Grand Designer.
Paul's got it right: the divine nature and eternal power of God are visible in His creation. Each leaf, each petal, each dawn and dusk shouts of His glory. When you look at the majesty of the mountains or the intricate design of a snowflake…you're seeing God's fingerprint. Every part of creation is a letter in a divine alphabet; string them together, and they spell His Name.
Point 3: Nature's Micro-Messages.
Oh, it's not just the grand scale! Think about the caterpillar, the cocoon, and the butterfly—a three-part sermon on transformation. Or the rainbow—a covenant symbol in the sky. Seeds sprouting according to soil, water falling to give life—God's messages are everywhere. He's both the macro Manager and the micro Manager!
Conclusion:
God's voice isn't restricted to church walls or holy scriptures; it's also booming through His creation. Brother Lawrence got it, Paul preached it, and we need to live it. Nature is more than aesthetic; it's aesthetic—God revealing His aesthetics, His beauty, and His divine qualities, in ways we can touch, see, and feel.
Call to Action:
Look up from your screens and look out your windows, better yet, get out there. Take a walk, climb a hill, jump in a lake! And as you do, ask God to reveal Himself. Open your eyes and your hearts, and you might just find that His whispers are echoing in every corner of His creation.
Prayer:
Lord, open our spiritual eyes to see the gospel in the grandeur of Your creation. May we find Your promises in the blooming flowers and Your covenants in the rainbows. Teach us, Lord, to seek You in every sunrise and every sunset. Let Your creation be our constant reminder of Your unfailing love and eternal power. Amen.
