Evidence of God

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Romans 1:20
Something my grandkids and I love to do is walking in parks and on nature trails. I try my best to teach them about all sorts of plant life, from weeds to trees and everything in between. No matter where you are in the world, if you look closely at a single plant leaf, it’s more than just a leaf. Its veins carry water and nutrients, its cells turn sunlight into energy, and it provides shelter, food, or medicine for other living things. Everything that exists is evidence that God exists, and it reminds us that God created everything with a purpose. None of it happened randomly.
In Romans 1:20, Paul says that “what has been made” testifies about God's power and divine nature. In other words, creation testifies to our Creator. In Ephesians 2:10, Paul says, “we are God’s handiwork", created in Christ Jesus", then he goes on say God created us with a purpose. On our adventures, the grandkids like to remind me as we’re outside viewing God’s creation, we can't be ashamed to let others see God's handiwork within us.
“...let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
Jesus says we must let our light shine! What a privilege it is to display the beauty of belonging to Christ! I love those moments I spend with my grandkids, and I pray they carry that command with them every single day of their lives!
Every living thing points back to the Creator. You and I point to our Creator, but our lives must also point people to our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. God created us, He redeemed us, and He gave our lives a purpose! Without Jesus, life is empty, lonely, and purposeless.
...all things have been created through him and for him. Colossians 1:16
Christ follower, what do people see when they look at you? Is your life reflecting the one who created you? Are you shining the light within you on others? God redeemed us for a purpose, let's make sure we are using our lives to bring Him glory!
