Reference Passage: …Psalms 19:1 [NLT] … 

1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God.  The skies display His craftsmanship.   

… King David sings of God’s glory, seeing God’s creation.   

Reference Passage: … John 1:3 [NLT] … </b>

<i>  3 God created everything thru Him, and nothing was created except thru Him.     </i>

… When we see God’s creation we see His glory.  

Reference Passage: … Romans 1:20  [NLT] … 

20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.  

… Paul recognized and related the truth that we see God’s nature and His character thru creation.       

Reference Passage: …1Corinthians 8:6 [NLT] … 

6 But for us, … There is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created, and for whom we live.  And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and through whom we live.  

… The Apostle Paul teaches fellow Christians that all things we see in creation were created by and for Jesus Christ.  So seeing creation allows us to see the glory of our Lord and Creator.        

Reference Passage: … Revelation 4:11 [NLT] … USE THIS LINK … 

… God’s revelation to/through John reveals that we see the worthiness of God when we see His creation.               

                                                                              

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Alyson Kieda … AT THIS LINK …   told of her father’s love of God’s creation, as he worked in his garden or walked in nature, reveling in what God had created.    

And as God’s word clearly tells us, (see Scriptures above), we have been given access to see (see photo) God’s glory by looking around and living in God’s creation.  Brian Doerksen sings about it in the linked song.  And I pray that all who read with me here today, look around us to see what our God has created for us; and praise Him for His handiwork.   

   

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for creating all that I see in Your creation and reflecting Whom I know as my LORD.                                     

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to see Your handiwork, Lord, in creation.  … Amen
