“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature— have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse” (Romans 1:20).

We can only know God personally through a relationship with Jesus Christ. However, we can know that there IS a God by looking at the world around us. John Haldone, a scientist, once suggested to Monsignor Knox that in a universe containing millions of planets it was inevitable that life would appear by chance on one of them. “Sir,” said Knox, “if Scotland Yard found a body in your Saratoga trunk, would you tell them, ‘There are millions of trunks in the world; surely one of them must contain a body?’ I think they still would want to know who put it there.”

I agree with Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said, “All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.” King David was inspired by the Holy Spirit when he wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (Psalm 19:1).

Nature doesn’t give us enough knowledge to save us, but it does open our minds to discover the One who can save us and bring us into a relationship with our Creator through Christ. He is longs to know all of us. Nature proclaims that.
