Romans 15:4(NIV)
4 For everything that was written in the past was
written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the
Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
In the wonders of nature we see God’s laws in operation. Who
has not looked up at the stars on a cloudless night and marveled in silent awe
at the glory of God’s handiwork? Who has not felt his heart lifted in the
spring of the year, as he sees all creation bursting with new life and vigor?
In the beauty and abundance around us we see the magnitude of God’s power and
the infinite detail of His planning; but nature tells us nothing of God’s love
or God’s grace. Conscience tells us in our innermost being of the presence of
God and of the moral difference between good and evil; but this is a
fragmentary message, in no way as distinct and comprehensive as the lessons of
the Bible. It is only in its pages that we find the clear and unmistakable
message upon which all true Christianity is based.
Thought for today:
Do I block out distractions to spend quality time with God?
