(various by Ray Pritchard, in a sermon preached in September
2009 entitled, "Why I Believe in God.")
Psalm 19:1 says that "the heavens declare the
glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
This world is God's house. He's left clues everywhere about what kind
of God he is. When you stand at the Grand Canyon, you can't help but
be overwhelmed at the power of God to create such magnificence.
He must have had a mighty hand to scoop out the Royal Gorge in
Colorado. He is as infinite as the dark recesses of the mighty Atlantic
Ocean. Each snowflake testifies to his uniqueness. The changing
colors of the Great Smoky Mountains proclaim his creativity.
The galaxies shout out, "He is there." The wildflowers sing together,
"He is there." The rippling brooks join in, "He is there." The birds sing
it, the lions roar it, the fish write it in the oceans-"He is there." All
creation
joins to sing his praise. The heavens declare it, the earth repeats it and
the wind whispers it-"He is there." Deep cries out to deep, the mighty
sequoia tells it to the eagle who soars overhead, the lamb and the wolf
agree on this one thing--"He is there."
No one can miss the message. God has left his fingerprints all over this
world. Truly, "This is my Father's world," and every rock, every twig,
every river and every mountain bears his signature. He signed his
name to everything he made. The earth is marked "Made By God" in letters
so big that no one fails to see it.
Unbelief is a moral choice not to believe the evidence God has placed
all around us.
