Beauty of God in Creation (part 2)

Why are we so awed and inspired by the beauty in the creation? Is it because of something built inside of us by God that gets stirred by that beauty? I believe so. Is that thing inside of us that gets stirred the inborn part that desires to connect with God, thus the beauty that is in God that is expressed in His creation stirs that part inside of us? I think so.

God says in Romans 1:18-25 that He is revealed in creation and therefore man has no excuse for not knowing Him.

Beauty of God in Creation

God is so amazing. Even in this fallen creation there is so much beauty all around us.

Back in mid-December, as I watched the snow come down, I was thinking about how beautiful the snow is. Each season has its own beauty. Winter can be such a dull drab time of year with the leaves off the trees and no flowers, etc. But the snow covers all of that.

God could have made the snow another color, like brown and then the winter would be just dull and drab. But God made the snow white and thus it creates a beautiful landscape. White snow on the tress and ground make them have a unique beauty.

God as creator is obviously reflected in His creation. God Himself must be incredibly beautiful!
