Romans 12:20
“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 men are without excuse”
This time of year brings incredibly bright, vivid colour as trees lose their chlorophyll, revealing their true colour. The imagery captivates me every year. The verse above, although taken from a passage on the wrath of God, is one of my favourite verses to use when talking about seeing God in our world. Contrasting this idea of God’s “invisible qualities” vs “been clearly seen.”
The reality of the beauty of our Heavenly Father is a like the myriad of Fall colours. Only when the cover of a temporal reality, or the chlorophyll causing the leaves to appear as though green, are removed do we see God in all His wonder and Truth. Like those green leaves, we think they look beautiful, and sometimes they do appear so, however, when compared to the Fall foliage, the green can tend to look, well, ordinary.
Take time in your busy schedule to find a place where you can take in the beauty of nature and reflect on what things may be hindering your true worship of our Great God.
