It's a Beautiful Day

"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." Romans 1:20 NIV

I was watching Good Morning America on Friday and U2 was on promoting their new album. They have a song called "It's a Beautiful Day" which came out several years ago and is still one of my favorite songs. It always speaks to me about reveling in the beauty and glory of our world and God's creation. I have been feeling the need to speak about the beauty of the world since Spring has kicked in over the last couple of days. Following a record snowfall, it seems the earth just burst forth into magnificent green and warm. It always amazes me the feelings I get inside when the seasons change-it seems each one is a relief from the last, no matter how much you have enjoyed it. Then this morning in Sunday School, the teacher had Romans 1:20 read. I realized that God speaks to everyone through His magnificent creation of our world and humankind. We are supposed to recognize His accomplishments and revel in our humanity as part of His grand plan. Humans were so important that He sent His only son, Jesus, down to save this fallen creation that we may abide with Him forever and ever. We are His first love and He longs for us to have a relationship with Him for eternity. All you have to do is look around to see how worthy of our praise that He really is!
