The Glory in God's Creation
Oh my! I have just returned from a week vacation in Red River, New Mexico, and what a vacation! I have driven through the mountains before, but this time, we went with some friends from church with some 4-wheelers... and we experienced the mountains up close. It was wonderful... to be up in the mountains... in the center of God's awsome creation, with the smell of the pines and the Rocky Mountain streams all about... wow!
We went up one trail, on the last day of our vacation... this trail led us all the way to the top of a mountain to where there was a comunication tower... it was fantastic! We had a 360 degree view at probably 11,000'... looking down a Questa and Taos, NM as well as a Molybdenim Mine... I had no choice but to stop and lead our small group of 4 in a prayer of worship and thanksgiving.
Romans chapter one tells us that we can see God's presence in all of His creation... so that we are without excuse, that even if we haven't any other revelation given... we know that God is there through His creation. Now, I can see Him even when I am at home in Oklahoma... in the stars... in the trees... in the animals, but... if there is any doubt, just go to the mountains! I pity those who don't know Jesus... who miss the most wonderful times in this short life, because they don't have a Savior to worship at times like this.
There is no "big bang", there is no "evolution", there is only God... and if there is any doubt... go to Red River, New Mexico... take a 4-wheeler up into the mountains... if you don't believe in Jesus after that... well, I'm sorry... I think that I'd have to say... you're just not paying attention.
