Universal Reflection---Daily Devotional

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.
- Romans 1:20



The heavens declare the glory of God! By looking into the stellar sky, we can learn many facts about God. Since the universe appears almost limitless in extent, the First Cause—God—must be virtually infinite. Since the universe appears almost endless in duration, He must be virtually eternal. Since the universe pulsates with energy, He must be omnipotent. Since the universe is phenomenally complex and contains intelligent life, God must be omniscient. Since the universe contains feeling and emotions and love and human relations, its Creator must be personal. Since the universe contains goodness and righteousness and love and justice, He must be moral. (1)



A cornerstone of the Christian faith is belief that God is the Creator. During the last days, those who deny His rightful role as Creator will separate themselves from Him forever. (2)



Marvel at what He has made today! (3)



A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling ‘darkness’ on the wall of his cell.  - C.S. Lewis
