When you spend your week in the mountains you cannot help but marvel at how God REVEALS Himself through CREATION.

As we drove to Colorado last Saturday we experience so much of God’s creation- 14 hours worth! We saw the plains, the sky, foothills and plateaus, dormant volcanoes, and then finally the mountains! On one part of the trip, as the sun was setting, this rock formation in front of us looked like old, wrinkly skin. It was almost breathing. It was spectacular.

Then we get to the mountain. The first day God REVEALED to us his awesome and mighty power. It was the worst storm the mountain had seen in 30 years. The wind was blowing, the snow was falling. You had to pole down the mountain because the wind was so powerful.

However, on Monday and Tuesday God REVEALED to us the beauty of his creation. This picture is from the summit and so is the next one. You are looking out over the Continental Divide.  Absolutely beautiful huh? These pictures don’t even do it justice.

In Romans 1:20, Paul tells us that through creation God REVEALS to us His “invisible qualities- his eternal power and divine nature.”

Psalm 19:1-6 says this:

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.” (Psalms 19:1-6 NIV)

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” I can remember the first time I caught a glimpse at just how big and powerful God must be. We were somewhere in away from the city lights and I was looking up at the stars. Way up there I saw a tiny star moving at a pretty fast clip across the immense sky. It was a satellite. It was something that we- mankind- put in the sky. It was so small and insignificant against the backdrop of God’s creation. That satellite’s faint, yellow glow was nothing compared to some of those stars a million miles away.

God REVEALS Himself to us through the beauty and majesty of His creation.
