Beautiful Day

THE WEATHER WAS absolutely beautiful today. The sunshine simply beckoned for outdoor activity. It reminded me that there once existed a time that the beauty and goodness of nature was simply enough for people to believe in our Creator. Everything on the Earth that God created is good. How do we know this? It is written plain as day: "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse."

What then is the reason for the evils in the world? Simple, it is man's creation. Sure, some people would argue that the world is awful and it should be scorned, but how can God's creation be so bad? And how do we know it is bad? "A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line" This is to say that, unless we have another world we have experienced to compare this one to, we cannot pass any judgments upon it. But what we do know is that this world was created by God and is inhabited by human beings created in His image and likeness. Maybe it is time to stop and enjoy the scenery with good company. God is glorified with something as simple as a beautiful day. So don't let it get away.
