I find that one of the most fascinating things about our God is His omnipotence. His power is amazingly limitless and His wisdom far beyond the comprehension of our human minds. As it was said in Ecclesiastes 3:14, “whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before Him.”  This power is clearly revealed to us as we read the very first Scripture of God’s Word in Genesis: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (1:1)

According to science, creating something requires something to create with. Matter does not come from a vacuum, and yet our Lord fully transcended the limits of science and human logic by making all which we see and know when the earth was yet “without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.” (Genesis 1:2) No tools were necessary; no workers were hired; and no energy was expended, “for He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.” (Psalm 33:9)

“Ah Lord GOD! behold, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for Thee:”

            -Jeremiah 32:17

The God of the Bible is not limited by circumstance and we should thus worship Him despite the circumstances we face. Nothing is too hard for Him and He has offered proof of this fact more times than can be counted. He not only shined light into the void of space during Creation, but has since shined the “light of the knowledge of the Glory of God” into the once black recesses of our sinful hearts (II Corinthians 4:6). Truly, “with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)

Looking back through my archives I realized that it’s been nearly five months since I last authored a series. With that in mind I have decided to begin a new, small series of posts which will describe what many modern-day theologians have come to describe as God’s “general revelation” to humanity, and go into some detail as to how each aspect of Creation, both directly and indirectly, declares the glory God for all to hear.

Since I began to pursue photography a little less than a year ago, I’ve come to pay special attention to detail that I once overlooked. Sunsets are more majestic, the flight of a bird more captivating, and the fading beauty of a wild daisy more appreciated than it was before I started to actually look for such things. To the untrained eye, starlit evenings are often taken for granted as part of nature’s natural course; but once you come to understand the wisdom wherewith God put these heavenly bodies into orbit, each twinkling star suddenly becomes a messenger loudly ascribing praise and glory to its Maker and, as David wrote in Psalm 19:3, “there is no speech, nor language, where their voice is not heard.” 

No person can live in this world and never hear the simple testimony all Creation gives to its Maker. No eye is so blind and no ear so deaf as to keep an individual from ever discerning the handiwork of God around them. You can accept it or reject it, but the fact of God’s existence remains unchanged and absolutely unchangeable. If you want proof all you have to do is look around.
