Awhile back a television show featured a magician/illusionist revealing how magic tricks were performed. To those of us who consider ourselves to be logical, reasonable people, this show filled in the gaps for us. We could see what was done behind the veil, so to speak. We could see what was intentionally withheld from the audience’s view.
I admire artists of all types, because they seem to see, hear, and/or feel things that I don’t easily recognize. They are then able to put these invisible things into the visible format of canvases musical scores, literary firm or sculptures. They help me to see what I have not previously recognized, but was there all along.
God has done the same thing for us. He has made Himself known to us, including His invisible attributes, through His creation. We can look and see His eternal power and divine nature. We can behold His wonder and beauty. We can begin to feel His love for all creatures, including us. Romans 1:19-20 says, “For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.”
Look around you and see what God has done. Thank Him for His great power and for the love He has already shown you.
