"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse..."
Have you ever balanced on the brink of a lake and gasped
when the wind at your back to swept your breath from you out over the dancing foam
and then tossed it back in your face filled with the living scent of spray and
sun? Has your heart ever burst in praise
when the sun fits a dawn-shaft to his bow and pierces the eastern edge of a
gray blanket of water with a flash of gold?
Did you ever sit next to limpid waves and try to count every myriad
shade in the rolling dip of the noontide swell?
Have you ever lifted your paddle to let a canoe rest on the glowing
mirror of water at dusk and made dimples in the glass with your fingers?
Every such lucid testimony to the nature of God has
served its purpose well if it makes the human heart cry glory His name.
The old hymn says it well:
“Shout to Jehovah all the earth
Sing to Jehovah with gladness
Before Him come with singing mirth
Know that Jehovah He God is.”
