Every human being experiences God through his creation. Paul said that no one has an excuse to walk through life ignoring the fact that there is a higher power at work in our world. Nature reveals the infinite greatness of God. Human nature is a consistent revelation that all people have limits. Everything created has a Creator.

The most convinced atheist has seen God’s eternal power and divine nature. The most educated scientist understands how much is still not understood. The most remote cultures and people groups have perceived the power of God. The created world reveals the Creator. Everyone will stand before God someday, without excuse.

The world around us exists to remind us of God’s creative genius and infinite power. The quiet serenity of an open field blanketed with fresh snow. The soft breathing of a sleeping infant. The brilliant colors of a sunrise or sunset. The thunderous sound of a river or waterfall after a huge storm. The unceasing roll of waves onto a shore. The night sky filled with unreachable stars and planets.

What in nature causes you to pause and think about the infinite greatness of God? Now, consider this: most of God’s attributes are invisible. Creation is just a glimpse of God’s eternal power and divine nature. 

Scripture teaches that everyone has glimpsed God. Even a person who is blind has experienced the winds and the scents found in nature. A person who is deaf has viewed the miraculous colors in creation. We are moved by the powerful combination of sounds and rhythms that form our favorite music. How many senses has God given that enable us to know and experience his greatness?

Everyone has seen the Creator through his creation. No one has an excuse for unbelief.

Knowing God is the beginning of wisdom. You can know that God gives everyone the ability and opportunity to know they have a divine, powerful Creator.
