Go Outside and Know God Better

On By BrianIn PASSION Reflections

God reveals Himself and declares His glory in His creation, so go outside and know Him better. 

The Bible tells us about the attributes of God, but creation gives us visual pictures of so many of His attributes – like His power and wisdom and goodness.  In Mathew 6, Jesus uses birds and fields as examples of God’s care, and we need to learn to interpret creation, to see how it shows forth God’s nature. 

For example, storms give us an example of God’s power.  The intricate design of any part of God’s creation shows forth God’s wisdom.  The kaleidoscope of colorful leaves point to God’s glorious beauty.

When I sit along Lake Superior, the vastness of lake reminds me of the vastness of our God.  The stillness of lake reminds me of the rest and peace found in God.  The crashing waves reminds me of the power of God.

And I could do that along Lake Michigan near where I live too, but I’m too busy.  Maybe you are too?  To go outside and know God better?

One reason God seems so distant to so many today is that they live their lives in man-made homes, traveling in man-made cars to man-made places of work and man-made stores filled with man-made things.  And now we fill every extra moment staring at man-made screens.  No wonder we miss the reality of God.

God reveals Himself to us on the vast canvas of His creation.  Go outside, see how God’s creation points to Him, and know Him better.
